Serve mirrored (static) web-page with original headers

  • 772

I have a dynamic webpage which I want to create a "frozen" copy of.

Typically I would do something like wget -m http://example.com, and then put the files in the document root of the web-server.

This site however has some dynamic content, including dynamically generated images, for instance

http://example.com/company/123/logo

This means that in order to mirror the page, I need to

  1. Save whatever headers the server currently serves for each URL (at least which MIME types it reports).

    This can be done using the wget option --save-headers.

  2. Serve the static pages and serve the proper headers (at least the content type headers) for each file.

    (This I have no idea of how to do.)

What is the best way to solve this? Any suggestions are welcome.

Put differently: How can I serve files without an extension with the correct MIME type header? (Where the original webserver defines what the correct MIME type really is.)

http mirroring http-headers wget

  1. If you can live without the last bit of your question ("where the original server defines what the correct MIME type really is"), and you're using Apache, you can use mod_mime_magic to automatically detect and serve the correct MIME type for your files.
