- Thread-topic: Getting files form a password https site
Does anyone in this list know of an Automator action that will let me
download files linked from a password protected HTTPS web page?
The builtin actions available in Automator let me easily create a simple
workflow that can get files - filtered by a wildcard - from an HTTPS site
with NO password that I have in a Safari web page. However, it returns an
error
--->>
curl: (60) SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details:
error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify
failed
More details here: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html
curl performs SSL certificate verification by default, using a "bundle"
of Certificate Authority (CA) public keys (CA certs). The default
bundle is named curl-ca-bundle.crt; you can specify an alternate file
using the --cacert option.
If this HTTPS server uses a certificate signed by a CA represented in
the bundle, the certificate verification probably failed due to a
problem with the certificate (it might be expired, or the name might
not match the domain name in the URL).
If you'd like to turn off curl's verification of the certificate, use
the -k (or --insecure) option. (1)

when I try to use this workflow to download files from an HTTPS site that
DOES have an id and password challenge. I can use a command line cURL script
to get files from this site if I supply the id and password on the command
line. I am hoping that the workflow would find true download happiness if I
could insert the id and password in the right places - either the "Get Link
URLs form Webpages" action or the "Download URLs" action or both. Or if I
could direct it to the right cookie, because I've already got the page in
Safari.
Or .. should get the text from the Safari web page, parse the URLs and
launch a curl or Perl script with them? - Does anyone have code for this?
