You reply has little to do with your original statement:

Wget and curl don't handle javascript.
I have no idea (without a wild guess on my part) what that means. Please be precise when talking tech Smilie

I work with server-side data every day and I have not used wget or curl to pull any web site date for a web application in over 6 years, maybe longer.

All modern day web developers use Javascript libs to pull data from the web when building a web app.

Of course, we all occasionally use wget and curl to do simple tasks like pull a single file from a web site; or some other very simple function. But in general, that is also rapidly becoming obsolete as most web developers use GitHub for their repos and use git to store and push the data.

And of course, some people still use wget and curl - like tools when they want to spider another web site and try to pull it's data (often without the website's owners permission).

It would help if you would explain what you are trying to do.

Are you are trying to "spider" or "content scrape" web sites?

It does not sound like you are building a web app.

What are you doing, really?

NAME
git-instaweb - Instantly browse your working repository in gitweb SYNOPSIS
git instaweb [--local] [--httpd=<httpd>] [--port=<port>] [--browser=<browser>] git instaweb [--start] [--stop] [--restart] DESCRIPTION
A simple script to set up gitweb and a web server for browsing the local repository. OPTIONS
-l, --local Only bind the web server to the local IP (127.0.0.1). -d, --httpd The HTTP daemon command-line that will be executed. Command-line options may be specified here, and the configuration file will be added at the end of the command-line. Currently apache2, lighttpd, mongoose, plackup and webrick are supported. (Default: lighttpd) -m, --module-path The module path (only needed if httpd is Apache). (Default: /usr/lib/apache2/modules) -p, --port The port number to bind the httpd to. (Default: 1234) -b, --browser The web browser that should be used to view the gitweb page. This will be passed to the git web--browse helper script along with the URL of the gitweb instance.

Regenerate configuration files as necessary for spawning a new instance. stop, --stop Stop the httpd instance and exit.

Regenerate configuration files as necessary for spawning a new instance. CONFIGURATION
