How to download an attachment of a document
Hi,
I have a metalink note. The note has got a zip file attached to it. What I need, is to write a shell script, to download the zip file alone, engrossed in the metalink document. I just have the web access to metalink and not the unix access to the metalink server to do a ftp, sftp, etc.

The link to the zip file is like:
https://metalink.oracle.com/cgi-bin/...16699.1:script

Through browser (IE), when i click the link, it popups a download window and Im able to save the zip file. Is it possible to write a shell script to automatically download the zip file to my unix machine??
