Mirror a site with wget and download static media

You might also try HTTrack which has, IMO, more flexible and intuitive include/exclude logic. Something like this...

httrack "https://example.com" -O ExampleMirrorDirectory \
"-*" \
"+https://example.com/images/*" \
"-*.swf"

The rules will be applied in order, and will override previous rules...

1. Exclude everything
2. But include https://example.com/images/*
3. But exclude anything ending in swf

First, you have to log into the server, there are two possibilities, your login gets done throught http auth, in that case, doing something like this :

wget -k -r -m -np --user=foo --password=bar http://user.domain.com/room/2324343/transcript/

should do it.

Now, if you need to log in via a form, you have to do it in two steps, first login, then mirror, so, doing something like :

wget --save-cookies cookies.txt --post-data 'user=foo&pass=bar' http://user.domain.com/room/2324343/transcript/
wget -k -r -m -np --load-cookies cookies.txt http://user.domain.com/room/2324343/transcript/

for the first line, the url may not be right, as the form may send you to a completely different place which would send you back to the right place, and the post-data argument is an example, you'll have to figure out by yourself what to put in it, either via looking at the source of the page, or using some extension for your browser, like firebug for firefox.
