How to make local mirror of a website with a confirmation popup?
I need to get a local copy of a website which requires confirming one's age before displaying content. No complex forms, just a checkbox and a button, "yes, I'm adult". I tried to use wget but with no success, it only downloads this initial screen and nothing more. Httrack failed, too.
I believe the confirmation info is stored in a cookie file, and I think I found out which one it is. So I copied it using the cookie.txt export chromium extension, then saved it to .txt and tried wget once again with --load-cookies option, but it still doesn't work.
How do I download website such as this one? Am I misusing wget or maybe there's a better way to do this?
