I know that wget can fetch a remote page and its dependencies and rewrite the html so that image src attributes reference the newly downloaded images.

I am trying to convert local html files that reference images on the Internet. I'm using

wget --mirror --page-requisites --convert-links \
     --directory-prefix=foo \
     --force-html \
     --input-file=my_file.html

All of the referenced images are downloaded to the appropriate places in foo/ but the src attributes in my_file.html aren't being changed.

  • Can't you use regex to fix them? –  Jul 10 '11 at 04:35
  • Yes, I was hoping that I could use `wget`'s built in functionality, but I ended up replacing the attributes manually. –  Jul 11 '11 at 14:30

    This question is NOT a duplicate of the referenced question. In this question, the OP *is* using `--convert-links` which is a synonym for `-k`. The referenced question is asking what to do in the event that -k was not used. This question, on the other hand, is asking how to use the `-k` option with a *local* html file. I am currently having the same problem. I am using `-k` and, thanks to the OP's question, I have figured out how to use `--input-file` for a local input. However, just like the OP, the links in the html file are not being updated. – Evan de la Cruz Feb 22 '17 at 17:07

Try this:

 wget --recursive   --page-requisites --html-extension=on --convert-links="on" --domains="www.thesite.com" --no-parent http://www.thesite.com

This will bring you an entire website locally. just tried it, working fine.
with local resources

    I already have the website; the problem was that the links weren't being rewritten. in `my_file.html` –  Jul 11 '11 at 14:29

    @Kevin L. Please provide the site url that you want to download. BTW, if the links made in JavaScript, you cant do it with wget. nevetheless, provide the url. – fatnjazzy Jul 12 '11 at 04:09

    there is no URL. It is a local HTML file. – Evan de la Cruz Feb 22 '17 at 17:09
