Re: [PLUG] wget options to retrieve file from github

[Carl Johnson <cjohnson19791979@gmail.com>]

here's an example.....

bnx2-mips-09-6.2.1b.fw is an example of and binary file i pulled from git using git clone
bnx2-mips-09-6.2.1b.bad.fw is an example of the same file pulled using wget.

if you "head" each file you'll see what happened.

What do you mean by "without turning it into HTML"?  wget and curl are
pretty content (and content-type) agnostic.  They don't care what
you're downloading.  Can you give me an example?
