Help with using lynx/wget/curl when a link has an ampersand
Hi, for my own interest I want to scrape a lot of data off the Maple Story game rankings page.
The problem is, when I want to get the data at this page
maplestory(dot)nexon(dot)net/Rankings/OverallRanking.aspx?type=overall&s=&world=0&job=0&pageIndex=6
It gives me the data at this page
maplestory(dot)nexon(dot)net/Rankings/OverallRanking.aspx?type=overall
so I think it has to do with the ampersands. I've tried it with curl/wget/lynx --dump and none of them work. Maybe I'm just missing a command or using the wrong tool. Does anyone have advice?
Thanks.
