Through a web browser, I can view the tweet page via visiting an url like

http://twitter.com/#!/%5Buser-name%5D/status/%5Blong-integer%5D

but I can’t get the correct page content through the unix command “wget”. Instead, I get the welcome page of Twitter.com. How does Twitter.com distinguish a command line “get” request and a request through a browser? Thank you.

While I am trying to find the cause of the problem, someone else is trying to find the solution to the problem. => Navigating / scraping hashbang links with javascript (phantomjs)
