The server, when receiving this string, will try to return the cloud-specific index file, which is `index.txt.<cloud-name>`. If that file doesn't exist, then the 404 error document is returned, which happens to be set to the default `index.txt` normal motd-news file. curl happily returns that without flagging this as an error situation (a 404: it needs an extra command-line argument for that). wget, however, fails without printing the error document: $ wget -U cloud_id/aws https://motd.ubuntu.com -O- --2020-07-27 15:45:47-- https://motd.ubuntu.com/ Resolving motd.ubuntu.com (motd.ubuntu.com)... 54.171.230.55, 34.249.145.219, 2a05:d018:91c:3200:c887:2f22:290f:a7c, ...
