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：
