wget can't download - 404 error

Question

I tried to download an image using wget but got an error like the following.

--2011-10-01 16:45:42--  http://www.icerts.com/images/logo.jpg Resolving www.icerts.com... 97.74.86.3 Connecting to www.icerts.com|97.74.86.3|:80... connected. HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 Not Found 2011-10-01 16:45:43 ERROR 404: Not Found. 

My browser has no problem loading the image. What's the problem? curl can't download either.

Thanks.

You need to add the referer field in the headers of the HTTP request. With wget, you just need the --header arg :

wget http://www.icerts.com/images/logo.jpg --header "Referer: www.icerts.com" 

And the result :

--2011-10-02 02:00:18--  http://www.icerts.com/images/logo.jpg Résolution de www.icerts.com (www.icerts.com)... 97.74.86.3 Connexion vers www.icerts.com (www.icerts.com)|97.74.86.3|:80...connecté. requête HTTP transmise, en attente de la réponse...200 OK Longueur: 6102 (6,0K) [image/jpeg] Sauvegarde en : «logo.jpg»
