<![CDATA[[Linux/browser] Can I extract a session token/cookie to use with wget or curl?]]>A cloud provider’s web GUI eats all my RAM when downloading big files. I would like to download the files using wget or curl instead, but I assume I’m going to need some cookie or token in the argument URL that authenticates the request?

Is there any browser add-on or other means to extract said information so that I can copy paste it into the terminal?
