wget -qO - "http://www.google.com/dictionary/json?callback=dict_api.callbacks.id100&q=steering+wheel&sl=en&tl=en&restrict=pr,de&client=te"this does the actual google dictionary query, returns a JSON string encapsulated in some fancy tagsed 's/dict_api\.callbacks.id100.//'here we remove the tag beginningsed 's/,200,null)//'and here the tag end There are also some special characters which could cause problems with some JSON parsers, so if you get some errors, this is probably the case (sed is your friend). I laso like to trim the "webDefinitions" part, because it (sometimes) contains misleading information.sed 's/\,\"webDefinitions.*//'(but remember to append a "}" at the end, because the JSON string will be invalid) The output also contains links to mp3 files with pronounciation. As of now, this is only usable in the English language. If you choose other than English, you will only get webDefinitions (which are crap).1wget -qO - "http://www.google.com/dictionary/json?callback=dict_api.callbacks.id100&q=steering+wheel&sl=en&tl=en&restrict=pr,de&client=te" | sed 's/dict_api\.callbacks.id100.//' | sed 's/,200,null)//' -

In this example, where the users gpg keyring has a password, the user will be interactively prompted for the keyring password. If the keyring has no password, same as above, sans the prompt. Suitable for cron jobs. ~/.gnupg/passwd/http-auth.gpg is the encrypted http auth password, for this particular wget use case. This approach has many use cases. example bash functions: function http_auth_pass() { gpg2 --decrypt ~/.gnupg/passwd/http-auth.gpg 2>/dev/null; } function decrypt_pass() { gpg2 --decrypt ~/.gnupg/passwd/"$1" 2>/dev/null; }
1wget --input-file=~/donwloads.txt --user="$USER" --password="$(gpg2 --decrypt ~/.gnupg/passwd/http-auth.gpg 2>/dev/null)" -

For single files, just use cURL -- its NTLM authentication works quite well. # /etc/cntlm.conf: # Username account # Domain domain # Password ############ # Proxy 10.20.30.40 (IP of the sharepoint site) # NoProxy * # Listen 3128
1http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:3128 wget --http-user='domain\account' --http-password='###' -p -r -l 8 --no-remove-listing -P . 'http://sp.corp.com/teams/Team/Shared%20Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspx?RootFolder=%2fteams%2fTeam%2fShared%20Documents%2fFolder' -
