NAME
       mArchiveGet - Retrieve a single FITS image from a remote archive


SYNOPSIS
       mArchiveGet [-d] [-r] remoteref localfile


DESCRIPTION
       Retrieve a single FITS image from a remote archive, using a basic URL GET but with a structured output.


OPTIONS
       -d     Print additional debugging information.

       -r     "Raw"  mode  -  use  a raw HTTP GET (no "HTTP/1.1" etc in the header); necessary for communication
              with some servers.


ARGUMENTS
       remoteref
              URL of remote FITS file to retrieve (should be in quotes).  See mArchiveList for more information.

       localfile
              Full path/filename of the retrieved file.


RESULT
       [struct stat="OK", count="bytes"]

       If remoteref points to a g-zipped 2MASS QuickLook image, the image will be unzipped during transfer.


MESSAGES
       OK     [struct stat="OK", count="bytes"]

       ERROR  Output file (localfile) open failed

       ERROR  Invalid URL string (must start 'http://')

       ERROR  No data reference given in URL

       ERROR  Illegal port number in URL

       ERROR  Illegal return from select()

       ERROR  Connection timed out


EXAMPLES
       $            mArchiveGet             "http://irsa.ipac.caltech.edu/cgi-bin/FileDownload/             nph-
       download?raw=1&ref=/ti08/971024n/s009/ image/j10090244.fits.gz" j10090244.fits
              [struct stat="OK", count="2111040"]


BUGS
       The drizzle algorithm has been implemented but has not been tested in this release.

       If a header template contains carriage returns (i.e., created/modified on a Windows machine), the cfitsio
       library will be unable to read it properly, resulting in the  error:  [struct  stat="ERROR",  status=207,
       msg="illegal character in keyword"]

       It  is  best  for  the  background  correction  algorithms  if  the area described in the header template
       completely encloses all of the input images in their entirety. If parts of input images are "chopped off"
       by  the  header  template,  the  background correction will be affected. We recommend you use an expanded
       header for the reprojection and background modeling steps, returning to  the  originally  desired  header
       size  for  the  final  coaddition.  The  default background matching assumes that there are no non-linear
       background variations in the individual images (and therefore in the overlap differences).  If  there  is
       any  uncertainty  in  this  regard, it is safer to turn on the "level only" background matching (the "-l"
       flag in mBgModel.
