[grc] How to automate downloading Making Contact?

Fri Jul 24 19:19:56 PDT 2020

Hi, Lisa.  Thanks for the response, appreciate it.

I can indeed download the sound file manually from the Making Contact
stations page, by right-clicking in my browser and selecting download.  But
when I try to retrieve that same file using the curl tool, I get this
(incomplete) HTML file instead of the MP3:

<html><head>

<META NAME="robots" CONTENT="noindex,nofollow">

<script src="/_Incapsula_Resource?SWJIYLWA=5074 ... 932f3"></script>

<body>

I'm open to anything the hive mind suggests.  <smile>

Regards,
Mike.
