DNGET README.TXT

This program is a simple Windows command line utility that retrieves internet
resources and saves them on local storage.  It is simple, has no special
command line arguments, and is fairly efficient.

DNGet came about because I wanted a simple way in Windows to download weather
data from the National Weather Service.  Using wwwget or curl worked fine for
this purpose on Linux but wanted something for Windows.  Sure, these could be 
compiled as a Windows executable, but I wanted something that used C#.

This program requires the redistributable .NET framework.  You should compile
for your favorite flavor of .NET and enjoy.  The .EXE will not automatically 
download and/or install the framework.

The initial fully Windowed version was OK, but not very utilitarian.  So, the
core code was taken out and placed in a super simple command line utility.

This program only supports HTTP.  HTTPS, FTP, TELNET and others could be
supported but for now they are not.  It also does not support cookies, 
recurtion, POSTs, and a lot of other things that curl supports.

If someone wants to add that functionality, get the source, add it and let
me know.

How To Use...

dnget WebURL [SaveFileName]
   where WebURL is the fully qualified URL of the desired resource.
   SaveFileName is the name of the file to save.
   
   If SaveFileName is not specified, a pseudo-random filename will be used.
            
   Output filename will be in the format of mmddyyrrrr.ext
   mm=Month
   dd=Day
   yy=Year
   rrrr=Random numbers of characters.
   ext=the extension that matches the retrieved MIME type.
