wget using wildcards using http

Hi there, probably a really simple question but i want to download all .rpm files from a web repository which happens to be http and not ftp

Ive tried using wget, but as far as i can see it doesnt allow for wilcards (ie wget http://address/*.rpm)

does anybody know i can get all these files in one hit ?

ps - ive tried rsync aswell but to no avail

Turn FTP globbing on or off. By default, globbing will
be turned on if the URL contains a globbing characters
(an asterisk, e.g.). Globbing means you may use the
special characters (wildcards) to retrieve more files
from the same directory at once, like wget
ftp://gnjilux.cc.fer.hr/*.msg. Globbing currently works
only on UNIX FTP servers.
try quoting your URL so that it does not get expanded by the shell:
wget ..... 'http://address/*.rpm'

Thanks, but as per your reply, globbing will only work with FTP and not HTTP, thanks anyway though

I also tried quoting the url in both ' and " to no avail ... i still get


ERROR 404: Not Found.

when i quote with ` i get

wget: missing URL
Usage: wget [OPTION]... [URL]...


incidentally my url is

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/1/i386/*.rpm
