+
+The wget command is used to download a file from an HTTP server.
+
+wget command will use HTTP over TCP to download files from an HTTP server.

+    path of the file to be downloaded.
+
+Example
+-------
+
+In the example the following steps are executed:
+
+* setup client network address
+* download a file from the HTTP server
+
+::
+
+    => setenv autoload no
