Why, wget, Why? [Solved]
https://email:password@mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom
This link works fine for me in Firefox, but when I tell wget to get it tells me "Bad port number". I also tried appending ":443" to the url to no avail; same error.
Is there something I'm missing?

Does that link work in Firefox after purging your cookies (or just deleting Gmail ones)?

After deleting cookies, it will popup a message about "do you want to login as <user> at mail.gmail.com" ? Although that message is just a Firefox warning, in links -g it makes no attempt to verify and serves the page correctly.

It works for me.
If your password starts with numbers, it might be that wget misinterprets it as a port number. Try using the --user and --password flags instead of putting them in the URL.

My pass didn't start with numbers, but using the flags did work. Thanks.
