Builds a command line for 'curl/wget' tools to enable the download of data on a console only session.
CurlWget is a little plugin that provides a 'curl' or 'wget' command line string to copy/paste on a console only session (like a unix/linux remote shell).
--The "Ask where to save each file before downloading" MUST be checked on the Chrome Settings so the CurlWget will be able to intercept the download window.
You may cancel the download then click on the CurlWget yellow button to retrieve the download link; click on it once to select it and right-click/copy.
Note:
-It is still a work in progress. If you find a scenario where it does not work as expected feel free to drop me a notice with the download adress/action that failed to fulfill and I'll look into it.
-There are websites specifically blocking the use of this kind of tool. Some other sites are using "authentication" methods that Chrome forbids in developing extensions for.
Keywords for it: "cliget" "wget" "terminal" "curl" "command line"

- One of the most useful extensions. Would love the support for aria2 as well for parallel connections.

- Weekend Wang
- Added to Chrome and gave it a try. And Cheers! That's what I want!
- Albert Higgins
- Great, although blocks my browser if it doesn't catch the download link, meaning you have to remove and reinstall the extension. Great otherwise though!
- Christoph Rackwitz
- maybe add a context menu item so I can generate a command line for any link, and don't have to have "ask for download location" enabled also: for windows systems, please use double quotes (") for the command line
- Stelios Tsarsitalidis
- Worked exactly as it sais and as I needed! Thanks!
- Colin Kong
- Was great extension. But 0.10.0 stopped getting the correct "-O" option for file name. It should get "-O" file name from the title page like before. Also not removing non English characters like Chinese would be nice as well. This last update is very disappointing indeed I had to roll back to curlwget_0.9.2.crx as 0.10.0 is broken Very quick fix so now back to latest version :)

- Very useful! This will save me a lot of time..

- Awesome tool. Solved my issue of trying to get big files on my cloud pc. Could not have done it without it!

- love it
- Randy Thomas
- Can't figure it out. I don't need wget or curl to download one file, I want to do a recursive mirror of a website from the page I'm on down (same domain only.) I know how to do it in wget, but it requires some annoying cookie finding and copy/pasta. I thought this extension would help, but I can't get anything other than "need page reloading or download window to be initiated." Page reload does nothing. Even downloading a file does nothing.

- Not able to understand how to use it. Plz make a youtube tutorial if you can. Or give clear instruction. I want curl command of some task that I am doing on my website. but not finding any way to get it. It keep saying "first need page reloading or download window"

- awesome

- song Won Yong
- good
- Raymond de Vos
- Works as expected. Allows me to use wget for downloads behind log-in pages and authorization tokens. However, pressing the "options" button stops the plugin and the donate button does not lead anywhere.
- Jesus Alfonzo Guevara Aguilar
- Este complemento es magnífico funciona genial. Es muy útil a para descargar archivos masivamente especialmente de páginas en las que es necesario loguearse con usuario y contraseña.
- Super Web
- nice tool ! however I couldn't get it easily through chrome extensions search, must use proper tags/description so people can find it. Good luck and big thank you.
- Abdulrahman Semrie
- Great tool!. I helped me a lot. However, as another user said UI could be improved. Also it would be better if you could use it by right clicking on links.

- Love this idea. Been looking for something like this. Do you have the code on Github or somewhere? I'd love to fork and help. I'd like to add some of th functionality from http://curl.trillworks.com/ into it to easily copy code for Python to download something.
