# cliget

Download login-protected files from the command line using curl, wget or aria2.

This addon will generate commands that emulate the request as though it was

coming from your browser by sending the same cookies, user agent string and

referrer. With this addon you can download email attachments, purchased

software/media, source code from a private repository to a remote server without

having to download the files locally first. If come across a website where

cliget doesn't work, please open an issue providing details to help reproduce

the problem.

*Windows users*: Enable the "Escape with double-quotes" option because Windows

doesn't support single quotes. If you use cygwin, however, you don't need to

enable this option.

**Please be aware** of potential security and privacy implications from cookies

being exposed in the download command.
