I’m auditing our existing web application, which makes heavy use of HTML frames. I would like to download all of the HTML in each frame, is there a method of doing this with wget or a little bit of scripting?
as an addition to Steve’s answer:
Span to any host—‘-H’
The ‘-H’ option turns on host spanning, thus allowing Wget’s recursive run to visit any host referenced by a link. Unless sufficient recursion-limiting criteria are applied depth, these foreign hosts will typically link to yet more hosts, and so on until Wget ends up sucking up much more data than you have intended.
Limit spanning to certain domains—‘-D’
The ‘-D’ option allows you to specify the domains that will be followed, thus limiting the recursion only to the hosts that belong to these domains. Obviously, this makes sense only in conjunction with ‘-H’.
A typical example would be downloading the contents of ‘www.server.com’, but allowing downloads from ‘images.server.com’, etc.:
You can specify more than one address by separating them with a comma,
e.g. ‘-Ddomain1.com,domain2.com’.
