对Linux熟悉的读者可能会对Linux通过wget下载文件有印象，这个工具功能很强大，在.NET环境下提到下载文件大多数人熟悉的是通过System.Net.WebClient进行下载，这个程序集能实现下载的功能，但是有缺陷，如果碰上类似于…/scripts/?dl=417这类的下载链接将无法正确识别文件名，下载的文件通常会被命名为dl=417这样古怪的名字，其实对应的文件名是在访问这个链接返回结果的HTTP头中包含的。事实上微软也提供了避免这些缺陷的程序集System.Net.HttpWebRequest 和 HttpWebResponse，本文将会使用这两个程序集来实现PowerShell版wget的功能。
代码不怎么复杂，基本上就是创建HttpWebRequest对象，设定UserAgent和CookieContainer以免在遇到设置防盗链的服务器出现无法下载的情况。然后通过HttpWebRequest对象的GetResponse()方法从http头中获取目标文件的大小以及文件名，以便能在下载到文件时提示当前下载进度，在下载完文件后，列出当前目录下对应的文件。代码不复杂，有任何疑问的读者可以留言给我，进行交流，下面上代码：
复制代码 代码如下:
=====文件名：Get-WebFile.ps1=====
function Get-WebFile {
<# Author:fuhj(powershell#live.cn ,http://fuhaijun.com)
Downloads a file or page from the web
.Example
Get-WebFile http://mirrors.cnnic.cn/apache/couchdb/binary/win/1.4.0/setup-couchdb-1.4.0_R16B01.exe
Downloads the latest version of this file to the current directory

,
# A Path to save the downloaded content.
[string]$FileName
,
# Leave the file unblocked instead of blocked

# Rather than saving the downloaded content to a file, output it.
# This is for text documents like web pages and rss feeds, and allows you to avoid temporarily caching the text in a file.

调用方法，如下：
Get-WebFile http://mirrors.cnnic.cn/apache/couchdb/binary/win/1.4.0/setup-couchdb-1.4.0_R16B01.exe
这里下载couchdb的最新windows安装包。
执行效果如下图所示：
能够看到在下载文件的过程中会显示当前已下载数和总的文件大小，并且有进度条显示当前下载的进度，跟wget看起来是有些神似了。下载完毕后会显示已经下载文件的情况。
