Wget: Filenames without the query string

Question

I want to download a list of webpages from a file. How can I stop Wget appending the query strings on to the saved files?

wget http://www.example.com/index.html?querystring

I need this to be downloaded as index.html, not index.html?querystring

Answer 1

There is the -O option:

wget -O file.html http://www.example.com/index.html?querystring

so you can alter a little bit your script to pass to the -O argument the right file name.
