Automatic Download

All data files on this website are provided for download by using the HTTP/1.1 protocol. Protected sections require credentials to be sent with the HTTP request. The username and password must be encoded according to the basic authentification scheme as described in RFC2068.

Unattended downloads of regularly updated data to local disk files can be set up using one of the many tools for HTTP mirroring.

We recommend wGet. wGet is a simple WWW network utility. It runs under Windows and under all UNIX platforms. You can download a Eurex sample bundle including:

• wGet 1.5.3
• the binary source for Windows NT (as well as the source code for UNIX compilation)
• an Eurex simple script sample to download the Eurex data files

Please read wGet step by step for Windows users first for further setup information.

A non-exhaustive list of such batch tools supporting automatic authentication is:

• The recommended WWW network utility wGet
• The w3c command line tool which is part of the W3C Protocol Library.
• The lwp-request script which is part of the libwww-perl distribution.
