Using wget to download a file

Hello Everyone,

I'm trying to use wget recursively to download a file.

Only html files are being downloaded, instead of the target file.

I'm trying this for the first time, here's what I've tried:

Code:
wget -r -O jdk.bin http://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_Developer-Site/en_US/-/USD/VerifyItem-Start/jdk-6u4-linux-i586.bin?BundledLineItemUUID=_09IBe.lhyoAAAEYq_YMXRqM&OrderID=gRNIBe.l1jQAAAEYoPYMXRqM&ProductID=48tIBe.phvMAAAEWdt1NOLEE&FileName=/jdk-6u4-linux-i586.bin

The link for this download file is here:

https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP...LfhfK7tUrq7g==


They don't support FTP , so that option is not possible.

Would anyone know if there's any other command that allows us to download a file over http , on the command line? Or if it is possible to make the wget work.

Any help is appreciate.
