Hi Jstayton!
Nice job on Suri!!
My question is: Is it possible to download a file that's pointed to by Suri?
Forgive my noobness.
Appreciate it!
Hey @2ndMessiah – Sorry for the long delay. If you're still wondering about this, can you explain a bit more? Are you wanting to use cURL/Wget on the command line to download a file that's redirected to by Suri?

Thx for the reply. Yeah exactly. Now I would curl the shortened url to get the original url and curl it again to download it. Is there a better way? It's all good never mind:)
The short URL will respond with the HTML to do the redirect. You would need to parse the original URL out of that to then download it, since non-HTML environments like cURL/Wget don't automatically follow that type of redirect (as they do with 3xx HTTP status codes, which Suri doesn't use).
Hope that helps!
