[mythtv-users] CVS wget gzip problem

Tue May 11 19:46:11 EDT 2004

Now that's a messy hack, but I like how you think!  =>

I tried fooling around with this idea , but can't get past the 401 error
that is sent after the first attempt.  I'm not sure I really understand how
this authentication process with a 401 error works exactly.  I keep ending
up with a file that contains:

<HTML><HEAD<TITLE>401 Unauthorized</TITLE></HEAD><BODY><H1>401
Unauthorized</H1></BODY></HTML>

>From reading earlier posts, it appears that a 401 error is part of a valid
process.  Looking at the working wget process, I see a 401 error as well,
but end up getting the data in the end...

what you can do is put a bash script called wget between 
mythfilldatabase that calls curl with arguments you want.

You can insert it first by playing with you $PATH before you execute 
the command that calls mythfill database
