Description
The RESP webservice gives access to instrument response information. The response information is returned in the RESP format. The service can return responses for a channel, one or more channels under a location, or one or more channels under a station.
The service can be easily invoked by using the unix curl and wget commands.
curl
$ curl -L -o AK.RIDG.--.LHZ.resp "http://service.iris.edu/irisws/resp/1/query?net=AK&sta=RIDG&loc=--&cha=LHZ"

We recommend always using the -L option to allow curl to follow HTTP redirections specified by our systems. The DMC uses HTTP redirection during maintenance to keep servicing requests.
wget
$ wget -O AK.RIDG.--.LHZ.resp "http://service.iris.edu/irisws/resp/1/query?net=AK&sta=RIDG&loc=--&cha=LHZ"

Make sure to surround the url with quotes or your unix shell will interpret the & characters as background control characters.
With recent versions of wget you can use the content-disposition flag to have the file saved to an automatic name.
