What is special about wget requests?

Question

Computer networks

Hello. There was a task to replace the use of wget. I won't go into details, BUT! I have a situation where one of the third-party services does not respond correctly to requests.
When I try to make a GET request to a specific address, I get a redirect to the html page of this service. In the case of wget, this is not observed, the file is downloaded stably at the same URL.
Tell me, good people, what kind of things are these.

Compare request headers, specifically User-agent .

Answer 2

With such a small amount of introductory information, it will be problematic to tell you ...
All the same, maybe you can post a dump of the headers of both requests (sniffer or proxy)?

Answer 3

wget has the -d switch - it will tell you what and how wget does, very useful.
