Exact download link

Post by LaPist0la »

Hello;

For security reasons, I need to utilize wget to download a Nagios plugin directly from the Debian host. The link to the Nagios Plugin URL is as follows, yet I need the Exact download link for this file to utilise wget:

Hi LaPist0la,

I had the same requirement on one or two of the servers I monitor as well.

If you right click a URL link, in most browsers there is an option along the lines of "Copy Link" or "Copy URL" which saves the exact download link to the clipboard.

Hope this helps in the future.

Kind Regards,

Gary Shergill

Thanks gary! Additionally, wget and curl sometimes need links with arguments enclosed in double quotes to accept it properly.
Nagios-Plugins maintainer exclusively, unless you have other C language bugs with open-source nagios projects, then I am happy to help! Please pm or use other communication to alert me to issues as I no longer track the forum.
