Download ITRS packages using curl

UPDATE:

We now set the Content-Disposition header in the first response, socurl -JLO urlandwget --content-disposition urlboth name the file correctly,

We have implemented a change today to provide durable download links to software packages.

To get the basic link you can now hover over the DOWNLOAD button to the right of each item (including after changing the version drop down) and you can right click and copy link.

The default URL format is:

https://resources.itrsgroup.com/download/latest/Gateway+2?title=geneos-gateway-5.10.1-linux-x64.tar.gz

Now you can run:

curl -JLO --data '{"username": "peter@example.com", "password": "SeCreT"}' https://resources.itrsgroup.com/download/latest/Gateway+2?os=linux

and this will download the file and rename it togeneos-gateway-5.10.1-linux-x64.tar.gz(or whatever the latest release is).

Note: login details must be provided as a JSON encoded username and password. If you don’t already have a login, please signup here.

The three query parameters supported are:

• title- plain text match
  This is a plain text search of the underlying filename, so can be used to fetch a specific version, e.g.title=5.8.0
• os-exact match only
  An operating system identifier, such aslinuxorwindows
• microprocessor-exact match only
  This is a general cpu architecture match, e.g.64-bitand not related to the CPU brand

The above can be combined, e.g.

https://resources.itrsgroup.com/download/latest/Netprobe?title=5.7.2&os=windows

The list of packages (the part after the/latest/in the URL) is not fixed and you need to discover those manually at first by visiting the resources.itrsgroup.com site and checking the links.

Hopefully this will make automation much simpler.
