I was trying to download this web page http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?address=Coimbatore+&sensor=true (Google maps api) using bash command wget. But the response I got for this was a page that informed me that the the request was denied. I tried to download the same using Python urllib functions, which was a success. So what is so special about wget? or am I missing something?

    Bash has a special meaning for the & character. You either need to proceed it with a backslash ( \ ) or wrap the entire URL in single quotes ( ‘ ).
