Wget Error 404: Not Found.

[sdjf]

I haven't been able to figure out how to get wget working on URLs that contain # signs before the file of interest.

Example:

Jun04# wget -O computer/msmtp-config -nc http://msmtp.sourceforge.net/msmtp.html#Configuration-files
--06:17:48--  http://msmtp.sourceforge.net/msmtp.html%23...iguration-files
           => `computer/msmtp-config'
Connecting to msmtp.sourceforge.net:80... connected!
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 Not Found
06:17:49 ERROR 404: Not Found.

Jun04#

Same error results even when I do not specify -O or -P option, and when tried escaping with a \ or adding single or double quotes.   Arrgh!!!

I have GNU Wget 1.7  on an sl5500 using Sharp ROM 2.38.

thanks,

Try removing # and everything following it.

# is used for internal page anchors so you will get the whole page anyway.

Stubear,

Thanks for taking the time to answer.  Now that you say that, it's incredibly simple.  Duh!

I just didn't realize those pound signs were sending the reader to another spot on the same page.   It's the kind of question you can't find the answer to on Google unless you already know the answer...

Thanks again,
sdjf
