I have a .ASX file -- streaming Windows Media, I think? -- that I
want to grab the entirety of. The URL is
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/wmx/wpa300.asx
which looks like so inside (in its entirety):
/*
<asx version = "1.0">
<title></title>
<entry>
<ref href =
"mms://wm.microsoft.com/ms/windows/wxp/prodactiv_8x6_Audio_300k.wmv"/>
</entry>
</asx>
*/
In turn, if you try to grab the 'href' on the inside (changing
'mms://' to 'http://'), you get this:
/*
[Reference]
Ref1=http://wm.microsoft.com/ms/windows/wxp/prodactiv_8x6_Audio_300k.wmv?MSWMExt=.asf
Ref2=http://207.46.249.94:80/ms/windows/wxp/prodactiv_8x6_Audio_300k.wmv?MSWMExt=.asf
*/
Any idea how to grab and save the whole file? It would be helpful
here at my job. I figured someone here would know how to do this.
