wget returned a webpage instead of a file?

Question

I want to download the an executable file from LunarG with 'wget' command.

I tried the following and the outcome is shown:

$ wget https://vulkan.lunarg.com/sdk/home#sdk/downloadConfirm/1.0.61.1/linux/vulkansdk-linux-x86_64-1.0.61.0.run -P $HOME/Downloads/

Instead of getting a file called vulkansdk-linux-x86_64-1.0.61.0.run, I got a HTML document called home.

I am able to click the hyperlink given on the website to download the file, however, I just could not download it via commandline which is surprising.

Question: How can I download this file using wget?

Answer 1

The link triggers the download, if you start the download in Chrome you can see the real download URL is:

https://vulkan.lunarg.com/sdk/download/1.0.61.1/linux/vulkansdk-linux-x86_64-1.0.61.1.run

instead of:

https://vulkan.lunarg.com/sdk/home#sdk/downloadConfirm/1.0.61.1/linux/vulkansdk-linux-x86_64-1.0.61.0.run

The URL is shown in the download page as below:
