How can I do an HTTP GET from a Un*x shell script on a stock OS X system? (installing third-party software is not an option, for this has to run on a lot of different systems which I don’t have control on).
For example if I start the Mercurial server locally doing a hg serve:
And then, from a Linux that has the wget command I do a wget:
And on the terminal in which I launched the “hg serve” command, I can indeed see that an HTTP GET made its way:
So on Linux one way to do an HTTP GET from a shell script is to use wget (if that command is installed of course).
What other ways are there to do the equivalent of a wget? I’m looking, in particular, for something that would work on stock OS X installs.
How to solve this problem?
Solution no. 1:
I’m going to have to say curl http://127.0.0.1:8000 -o outfile
Solution no. 2:
brew install wget
Homebrew is a package manager for OSX analogous to yum, apt-get, choco, emerge, etc. Be aware that you will also need to install Xcode and the Command Line Tools. Virtually anyone who uses the command line in OSX will want to install these things anyway.
If you can’t or don’t want to use homebrew, you could also:
Install wget manually:
Or, use a bash alias:
Solution no. 3:
Curl has a mode that is almost equivalent to the default wget.
This works just like
And, if you like, you can add this to your .bashrc:
It’s not 100% compatible, but it works for the most common wget usage (IMO)
Solution no. 4:
1) on your mac type
2) paste the following in
3) close then make it executable
That’s it.
Solution no. 5:
Use curl
;
Solution no. 6:
Here’s the Mac OS X equivalent of Linux’s wget.
For Linux, for instance Ubuntu on an AWS instance, use:
On a Mac, i.e. for local development, use this:
The -o parameter is required on a Mac for output into a file instead of on screen. Specify a different target name for renaming the downloaded file.
Use capital -O for renaming with wget. Lowercase -o will specify output file for transfer log.
Solution no. 7:
You can either build wget on the mac machine or use MacPorts to install it directly.
This would work like a charm, also you can update to the latest version as soon as it’s available. Port is much more stable than brew, although has a lot less number of formula and ports.
You can install MacPorts from https://www.macports.org/install.php
you can download the .pkg
file and install it.
Solution no. 8:
Instead of going with equivalent, you can try “brew install wget” and use wget.
You need to have brew installed in your mac.
Solution no. 9:
You could use curl
instead. It is installed by default into /usr/bin
.
Solution no. 10:
wget Precompiled Mac Binary
For those looking for a quick wget install on Mac, check out Quentin Stafford-Fraser’s precompiled binary here, which has been around for over a decade:
MD5 for 2008 wget.zip: 24a35d499704eecedd09e0dd52175582
MD5 for 2005 wget.zip: c7b48ec3ff929d9bd28ddb87e1a76ffb
No make/install/port/brew/curl junk. Just download, install, and run. Works with Mac OS X 10.3-10.12+.
Hope this helps!
Question or issue on macOS:
I try to install wget in MAC OS 10.11.1 but when I run ./configure –with-ssl=openssl I get this error:
How to resolve this problem in OSX 10.11.1?
How to solve this problem?
Solution no. 1:
Using brew
First install brew:
And then install wget with brew and also enable openressl for TLS support
Using MacPorts
First, download and run MacPorts installer (.pkg)
And then install wget:
Solution no. 2:
For macOS Sierra, to build wget 1.18 from source with Xcode 8.2.
Install Xcode
Build OpenSSL
Since Xcode doesn’t come with OpenSSL lib, you need build by yourself. I found this: https://github.com/sqlcipher/openssl-xcode, follow instruction and build OpenSSL lib. Then, prepare your OpenSSL directory with “include” and “lib/libcrypto.a”, “lib/libssl.a” in it.
Let’s say it is: “/Users/xxx/openssl-xcode/openssl”, so there should be “/Users/xxx/openssl-xcode/openssl/include” for OpenSSL include and “/Users/xxx/openssl-xcode/openssl/lib” for “libcrypto.a” and “libssl.a”.
Build wget
Go to wget directory, configure:
wget should configure and found OpenSSL, then make:
wget made out. Install wget:
Or just copy wget to where you want.
Configure cert
You may find wget cannot verify any https connection, because there is no CA certs for the OpenSSL you built. You need to run:
New way:
If you machine doesn’t have “/usr/local/ssl/” dir, first make it.
Old way:
Then put cert.pem to: “/usr/local/ssl/cert.pem”
DONE: It should be all right now.
Solution no. 3:
You need to do
./configure –with-ssl=openssl –with-libssl-prefix=/usr/local/ssl
Instead of this
./configure –with-ssl=openssl
