Encapsulating output of CURL and/or WGET

i use curl and wget quite often.

i set up alarms on their output. for instance, i would run a "wget" on a url and then search for certain strings within the output given by the "wget".

the problem is, i cant get the entire output or response of my wget/curl command to show up correctly in the Nagios GUI.

this is because there are a variety of characters that confuses the GUI. these characters include but aren't limited to: /\[]^& etc. i guess the term for them is "metacharacters".

how can I force it so that ALL ouput produced by a wget or curl is actually shown, down to the very last character?

i.e. for example, the below is the most basic example i can show as to what i want:

Code:
OUTPUT=$(wget www.cnn.com)

echo ${OUTPUT}

I would like to be able to show everything that is outputted by the wget, in the format that it was outputted.

this is harder than it sounds.
