Ask HN: Good app to rip html of (my own) website.

Hi,

I am looking for an app on Mac OSX (or Web Based) that can rip a my own ROR site to use to experiment on CSS and layout. Can't seem to find a good, free tool, any suggestions?

View on HN

    wget

http://www.httrack.com/

Note this will rewrite links to be local -- matters what you're trying to do.

You want something that goes beyond 'view source'? I have no idea what you're asking for.

yeah, just instead of doing view source on 30 pages, do all of them at once.

yeah, as everyone else said: wget -r http://url

wget?

Sorry to be ignorant, but how can I get the site if it requires a username and password to access? I read the wget documentation, but am unclear about this one. Thanks in advance.

Matters what scheme is in use, but see two things in the man pages.

  --user / --password

And

  --load-cookies
