Hi Lee,
$ /dss/bin/pca --version
pca 20091030-01
> $ /support/bin/pca --getxref --wget=/usr/local/bin --xrefdir=/tmp
Are these two copies of pca? I assume that the version is the same?
I can't imagine a reason why --debug should alter the behaviour of pca
when downloading the xref file; something else must be different.
Are both tests with and without --debug running on the same machine,
under the same user?
I am going through a proxy server that does not require authentication.
The failure could be caused by a missing proxy server setting, but it
would then fail independent of --debug set or not. Are you setting the
proxy in a pca configuration file, in a wgetrc or via the http_proxy
environment variable?
To get more information, try wget directly, e.g.:
/usr/local/bin/wget --no-check-certificate
"https://sunsolve.sun.com/pdownload.do?target=patchdiag.xref" -O
patchdiag.xref
Also, while running the failing pca, try to run "ps" repeatedly in a
second terminal window to catch the exact wget command it runs (or use
"truss" for the same purpose) and compare it to the one when run with
--debug. Then try that command on the command line again and show us the
output.
Martin.
