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.
