Question

First of all, i am not trying to hack into anything or anyones e mails.

I am new software engineer and I need to log into company wiki page & download info displayed into a text file or something, so i can search for data i am looking for and make dessions based on what i learned from the wiki page. I do have a user name and password for the wiki page and no need for breaking in.

Issue is, I can not figure out a good way to do this. I am using C++ and operating system is Linux.

Here is what I have so far. This does not issue the uer name and password. Can someone please tell me how to issue usename and password ?

string line;
system("wget www.cooperateweb.com/wikipage/productpage/FWversions+date");

ifstream file ("index.html");

while (!file.eof())
{
getline(file,line);
cout<<line<<"\n";    }    file.close();

From TFM:

 --user=user
 --password=password
    Specify the username user and password password for both FTP and HTTP
    file retrieval. These parameters can be overridden using the --ftp-user
    and --ftp-password options for FTP connections and the --http-user and
    --http-password options for HTTP connections.
