fetching multiple pdf files from website
I need some help in getting all pdf files from a website after logging into a session. Website requires me to enter my email address then it logs me into a session where it gives me link to download all the pdf files.

Is there a way i can automate this using wget or curl?

Code:
wget --user=<your_username>  --password=<your_pass> -r -np -nd -l1 -A '*.pdf' http://your-url/

I don't know, may be you should try to pass directly the download url and the email as a username.
Or something like this:

Code:
wget --post-data 'email=<your_email>'  ...
