Fetches a resource from a URL - setting STDOUT data-type
getfile url -> <stdout>getfile google.com This simply fetches a resource (via HTTP GET request) from a URL and returns the byte stream to STDOUT. It will set STDOUT’s data-type based on MIME defined in the Content-Type HTTP header.
It is recommended that you only use this command if you’re pipelining the output (eg writing to file or passing on to another function). If you just want to render the output to the terminal then use open which has hooks for smart terminal rendering.
getfile has a number of behavioral options which can be configured via murex’s standard config tool:
config: -> [ http ]To change a default, for example the user agent string:
config: set http user-agent "bob"
getfile: google.comThis enables sane, repeatable and readable defaults. Read the documents on config for more details about it’s usage and the rational behind the command.
