I tried to apply Michael's suggestion (that another time worked fine) to
download a video at this address:
http://www.raiclicktv.it/raiclickpc/secure/folder.srv?id=1925#
, by clicking on `Roma'. More precisely, the address is:
http://www.raiclicktv.it/raiclickpc/secure/stream.srv?id=3429&idCnt=17923&pagina=1&path=RaiClickWeb^Home^Sapere^Letture+^CAMMIN+LEGGENDO#1
. The strange is, that no large file seems to be downloaded in
~/.mozilla/firefox/duq4lps5.default/Cache. But, where else if not there? So I
didn't manage to download the file.
I also tried with clive, but it said:
clive 0.4.18 20080715 [Linux]
error: unsupported host (http://www.raiclicktv.it/raiclickpc/secure/stream.srv?id=3429&idCnt=17923&pagina=1&path=RaiClickWeb^Home^Sapere^Letture+^CAMMIN+LEGGENDO#1)
=> 0 (0.0B), failed: 1, skipped: 0.
error: nothing to extract.
. Any suggestion? At that web site there are some real treasures that deserve
absolutely to be collected!
Thanks for any help
Rodolfo
