As part of a scripted imagery acquisition program, I am pulling SeaWiFS data < 5 years old and therefore need user authorization.
The script uses a call to wget and fails the authorization.  Here is an example on command line of what happens:

$ echo S2007136181200.L2_MLAC_OC | wget -B http://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov/restrict/browse.pl --user=$usr --password=$pwd --content-disposition -i -
--2012-05-22 10:53:35--  http://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov/restrict/S2007136181200.L2_MLAC_OC

What am I missing here?

Hi Dirk,

I believe what you want is this.

echo S2007136181200.L2_MLAC_OC | wget -B http://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/cgi/getfile/ --user=$usr --password=$pwd --content-disposition -i -

Solved.  Thanks Norman.
