Using wget to fetch facebook status updates
Hi,
I want to download the status updates (as RSS feeds) of all of my facebook contacts and store them on my harddrive (for readíng when I'm 70).
I'm trying with the following command:
wget -e robots=off --wait 1 "[url]"
where [url] is the url to my feeds.
This results in that a file called browser.php is downloaded. This file contains php code and is not the XML-file that I an intrested in
Downloading other RSS feeds using wget works perfect. I can also use the consolebased RSS reader nrss to download the status updates from facebook. The problem with nrss is that it is interactive, I want something non-interactive so that I can fetch the feeds as a crontab job or something similar.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

hi and welcome i'm no programmer but how did you associate the status updates with rss the status updates are part of the same page and don't have their own url so obviously the url you put into wget would be .php
