- Thread-topic: semi-automating the task of downloading multiple files from a secure web site
I want to semi-automate downloading (daily) 50 or so files from a web site
that is https, CAC restricted, and requires a login and password. One option
I tried uses Automator and Safari on OS 10.4.10 to create a workflow . On
some test sites - internal to my agency - this works fine. However, when I
try the same workflow on the site containing the files I want, I get an
AppleScript error that suggests I have a name or a certificate error, but I
have the correct name and I believe I have the correct certificate in the
Keychain (I can send the text of the error if that helps). The error message
also suggests II change some options on the script command line, but I don't
know how to edit Automator actions - or even how to find the source code for
Automator actions.
I also tried using wget from OS 10 but have not been able to get the syntax
correct. How do I know that I am using the correct cert file if the syntax
is correct?
