Install from Scratch

yum install wget

Install on Mac

brew install wget

Alternative

http://coolestguidesontheplanet.com/install-and-configure-wget-on-os-x/

This worked:

cd /usr/local/src
curl -O http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/wget-1.20.3.tar.gz
gunzip < wget-1.20.3.tar.gz | tar xfv -
cd wget-1.20.3
./configure --with-ssl=openssl
make
make install

It will install in /usr/local/bin.

-nv, --no-verbose

Turn off verboseness, without being quiet.

Specify the file name with -O

wget -O agent.jar http://10.153.173.18:7080/agentupdate/download 

Don't write the file on disk

The dash after -O:

wget  -O - http://localhost/servlet01

Display the whole HTTP response

wget -S ...

Sending POST with wget

wget -O - \
