But at the end, the session redirects to http://aru-akam.oracle.com and I get a
connection refused.
Any suggestions on how to keep all the connections on https? One of the
requirements was for us to use only https.
Unfortunately PCA can't help you with that - it's Oracle's fault.
Background: Downloading a patch from Oracle is a rather complicated
procedure. If you take a close look at PCA's debug output, you'll see
that it tries to download the patch via wget from this URL:
https://getupdates.oracle.com/all_unsigned/147440-27.zip
The Oracle server redirects wget to another server:
https://login.oracle.com/pls/orasso...
And then another redirection to:
https://updates.oracle.com/osso_login_success?...
Following is a redirection to the original URL:
https://updates.oracle.com/all_unsigned/147440-27.zip
And then to the final URL (which is http, not https):
http://aru-akam.oracle.com/adcarurepos/...
PCA - or better wget - can do nothing but to follow this chain of URLs.
I assume you get "Connection failed" because you don't allow outgoing
HTTP connections in your firewall? See Document ID 1199543.1 in the
Oracle knowledge base for a description of the required firewall
exceptions when using wget to download patches.
