Is it possible to download a complete webpage (like through “save as” in the browser) without opening it in the browser. So if i have a link for a webpage I can download it (with pics and css files) without opening. Thank you!

I don’t have much shell script experience, so I can’t say this with 100% certainty, but I think it should be possible to accomplish this with curl . Try curl [URL] > ~/Downloads/test.html either in Terminal or in an “Execute a Shell Script” action (I recommend ignoring the results in the latter) an…
