Updated solution
Using tips found above, I found this workflow. I will post a complete solution here that works (today).
Open the page with the link that opens the trailer in Quicktime: http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox/avatar/hd/ Open a terminal window and run the following command. Do not do any other web browsing or you'll have a hard time parsing the output. This next line is all on one line. You may have to change the "en0" to "en1" if you're wireless. sudo tcpdump -s 0 -A -i en0 port 80 | egrep '^(.*GET.*HTTP|Host:|Cookie:|User-Agent:)' Now, go click on the video link. In my example, it's the 720p button. You should see something like this. Note: I've trimmed the cookie line. .T.GET /movies/fox/avatar/avatar2009aug0820a-tsr_720p.mov HTTP/1.1 Host: movies.apple.com Cookie: ac_survey=1; dssid2=b79000f5-aa77......%3B; User-Agent: QuickTime/7.6.2 (qtver=7.6.2;cpu=IA32;os=Mac 10.5.7) ....80...P..t.. ..P.......GET /movies/fox/avatar/avatar2009aug0820a-tsr_h720p.mov HTTP/1.1 Host: movies.apple.com Cookie: ac_survey=1; dssid2=b79000f5-aa77......%3B; User-Agent: QuickTime/7.6.2 (qtver=7.6.2;cpu=IA32;os=Mac 10.5.7) .b/GET /movies/fox/avatar/avatar2009aug0820a-tsr_h720p.mov HTTP/1.1 Host: movies.apple.com Cookie: ac_survey=1; dssid2=b79000f5-aa77......%3B; User-Agent: QuickTime/7.6.2 (qtver=7.6.2;cpu=IA32;os=Mac 10.5.7) Now, use wget to download the movie. From a terminal window, we'll use it like this. wget -b 'cookie string' -A 'agent string' URL To build the URL use the hostname from the "Host:" line and the path from the "GET" line. In our example, the URL is: wget -b 'ac_survey=1; dssid2=b79000f5-aa77......%3B;' -A "QuickTime/7.6.2 (qtver=7.6.2;cpu=IA32;os=Mac 10.5.7)" http://movies.apple.com/movies/fox/avatar/avatar2009aug0820a-tsr_h1080p.mov You may not need the user agent string, but the cookie string was necessary. |
