HTTPGet description
A simple command line tool that will help you download your favorite files. HTTPGet makes downloading files from HTTP and FTP servers a breeze. Simply use the URL (address) of the target file as the parameter and HTTPGet will do the rest. HTTPGet is a simple command line tool that will help you download your favorite files.

httpget is a simple command-line program for running scripts on remote web servers. Runs on Win32, Linux, Mac OS X (and possibly other Unix-like OSes).

Often on complex application sites, there are scripts that must run periodically (often nightly) to do housekeeping work. These scripts are often very complex and can take a long time to run, sometimes longer than programs like curl or wget will allow.

httpget will wait for a configurable amount of time (12 hours by default) for the script to finish running. It outputs everything that is received from the remote server for logging purposes. httpget can send usernames and passwords for basic authentication but it cannot hit SSL sites.
