Topic: wget with a REST api

I'm trying to use wget with a REST api... it seems like wget is automatically inserting a 'index.html' into the request. 

When I send this request:

http://www.flickr.com/services/rest/?method=...

I get this response:

"Cannot write to index.html?method=..."

Clues on getting wget to work???

Random guess.  Don't include the trailing slash?

http://www.flickr.com/services/rest?method=...

Re: wget with a REST api

Actually, I think the problem is that you're hitting the wrong server.

I'm pretty sure you're supposed to be hitting "api.flickr.com", not "www.flickr.com".
