I had the same problem and found a solution by using cURL. According to the explanation I googled, SSL 3 is apparently quite flaky. You'll have to tell cURL to specifically use version 3 to make it work. I tried the same on wget and it still failed fail to work. By the way, I tested both on Windows.

Therefore I'm looking for a supported way to determine whether a certain instance of wget supports HTTPS. Looking through the source of various wget versions, I found this to be one way: wget --help | grep HTTPS This works because wget (>= 1.10) only shows the HTTPS options if it's compiled with SSL support. As far as older releases are concerned, I could check for the old deprecated SSL options or always use http with those old binaries. Is there a better way to perform the check I need? Is the method I use now supposed to be supported in ongoing versions of wget? Thanks in advance! BTW, I'm not subscribed to the list, so a Cc: would be nice.
