Introduction

Weblinks, It get all links from a given website and we can apply filters on top of it to get desired results, when you are good you can start downloading them with -d flag.

In the library we are supporting plain webpages, authentication based webpages, proxy, authentication on proxy, etc.

We also support storing the config in either local/global configuration, for best practise we suggest not to store your password, you get a prompt on runtime wher you can provide it.
