gemget

A command line downloader for the Gemini protocol. It works well with streams and can print headers for debugging as well.

gemget [option]... URL...

Usage of ./gemget:
  -e, --add-extension          Add .gmi extensions to gemini files that don't have it, like directories.
                               
      --cert string            Path to a PEM encoded TLS client certificate to be sent with the request.
                               
      --connect-timeout uint   Max time allowed to form a connection and get the header, in seconds.
                               Set to 0 for no timeout. (default 15)
  -d, --directory string       
                               The directory where downloads go (default ".")
      --header                 
                               Print out (even with --quiet) the response header to stdout in the format:
                               Header: <status> <meta>
                               
  -f, --input-file string      Input file with a single URL on each line. Empty lines or lines starting
                               with # are ignored. URLs on the command line will be processed first.
                               
  -i, --insecure               Skip checking the cert
                               
      --key string             Path to a PEM encoded TLS key for the provided client cert.
                               
  -m, --max-size string        Set the file size limit. Any download that exceeds this size will
                               cause an Info output and be deleted.
                               Leaving it blank or setting to zero bytes will result in no limit.
                               This flag is ignored when outputting to stdout.
                               Format: <num> <optional-byte-size>
                               Examples: 423, 3.2KiB, '2.5 MB', '22 MiB', '10gib', 3M
                               
  -t, --max-time uint          Set the downloading time limit, in seconds. Any download that
                               takes longer will cause an Info output and be deleted.
                               
      --no-progress-bar        Disable the progress bar output.
                               
  -o, --output string          Output path, for when there is only one URL.
                               '-' means stdout and implies --quiet.
                               It overrides --directory.
                               
  -p, --proxy string           A proxy that can requests are sent to instead.
                               Can be a domain or IP with port. Port 1965 is assumed otherwise.
                               
  -q, --quiet                  Neither info strings or the progress bar will be printed.
                               Note that normally infos are printed to stderr, not stdout.
                               
  -r, --redirects uint         How many redirects to follow before erroring out. (default 5)
  -s, --skip                   Move to the next URL when one fails.
  --socks string               Host/address for a SOCKS5 proxy
  --socks-pass string          Password for a SOCKS5 proxy (optional)
  --socks-user string          Username for a SOCKS5 proxy (optional)

  -v, --version                Find out what version of gemget you're running.
