Good that you can work on...

On Debian GNU/Linux:
apt-get install xattr
wget --xattr www.example.com
xattr -p user.xdg.origin.url index.html >out.txt
cat out.txt

Thanks a lot for the fast reply.

xattr does save URL to file attribute but I couldn't find a way to get the attributes when using cat to merge all the files to one. Didn't even find a way to copy attribute and append it to file.

WARC - seems to be helpful.
The manual doesn't explain what it is: https://www.gnu.org/software/wget/manual/wget.html
Maybe add some explanation based on this:
https://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Wget_with_WARC_output

-o also works but I saved to same file as -O so I get all the data in one file and don't need to look for log file and try to merge data.

Thanks again.

P.S. I still think it might be easier to save original URL through ‘--save-headers’

If you copy all files and headers into one file - did you play with the WARC options ?

With --xattr the original URL is saved as extended file attribute, if your file system supports it.

You could use -d -olog and let a script extract URL and filename from it.

I use wget to download website to one folder, copy all files to one file and process the full text of the website.
I need to know from which link each part of the text was taken. I thought ‘--save-headers’ will help me but it only contains HTTP response header, and I guess the link appears in the HTTP request.

Planning to move to httrack due to this issue. There I get original link on note on each file by default.

Thanks.
