Downloading distrib files with wget/curl is broken on many systems (and all
OHRRPGCE versions) because hamsterrepublic.com is now redirecting all http
downloads to https. Downloading works for me on a recent Linux but wget.exe is
broken on all Windows versions. Recent Win10 versions include curl.exe (which
we fallback to when wget fails) but even using that to download doesn't work on
some Win10 machines (works for me, not for Prifurin).
We include a very old support/wget.exe (version 1.8.2, from 2002) which doesn't
support modern SSL. It prints `"Unable to establish SSL connection."` and
returns errorcode 1. The wget.exe we provide supports Win95 and is only 247kB
(I think it's [from here](http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/wget.htm)).
wget 1.19.4 can be had from [here](https://eternallybored.org/misc/wget/),
though is unfortunately 3.7MB (1.7MB zipped). I don't know which Windows
versions it supports, but it's statically linked.
Older curl versions return errorcode 35 and print `curl: (35)
error:1407742E:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:tlsv1 alert protocol
version`.
But even if we replace wget.exe with a new version, all previous releases of
the OHRRPGCE are broken. To fix that I think the best thing to do is disable
the HTTPS redirect. We probably need to upgrade wget.exe, but if that wget
build doesn't support older Windows versions I'm against upgrading it.
James, could you disable the https redirect for
http://hamsterrepublic.com/ohrrpgce/nightly/, http://hamsterrepublic.com/dl/,
http://HamsterRepublic.com/ohrrpgce/support/ and
http://hamsterrepublic.com/ohrrpgce/thirdparty ? I think these are all the
paths which Custom downloads from.
