Just tell wget --no-check-certificate in the command line. wget does not use a certificate repository and you need to obtain and specify the expected root manually. It will be no less secure than it was before (when using HTTP) except that now it will use Transport encryption. Certificate checking is useless for proving identity anyway unless you have obtained the root and validated the chain yourself and not rely on crud from untrustworthy third-parties.
THat is, change the comand line to wget -O - --no-check-certificate https://sqlite.org/download.html --- The fact that there's a Highway to Hell but only a Stairway to Heaven says a lot about anticipated traffic volume. >-----Original Message----- >From: sqlite-users [mailto:sqlite-users- >boun...@mailinglists.sqlite.org] On Behalf Of Stephen Chrzanowski >Sent: Thursday, 7 June, 2018 13:35 >To: SQLite mailing list >Subject: Re: [sqlite] sqlite.org website is now HTTPS-only > >I've got a script that runs daily and scrapes the download page and >grabs >everything new.
