Help with using curl to download files from https
Hi
I'm trying to download an xml file from a https server using curl on a Linux machine with Ubuntu 10.4.2
I am able to connect to the remote server with my username and password but the output is only "Virtual user <username> logged in".
I am expecting to download the xml file.
My output file is created with only the above line. I have tried using verbose and trace but can't see any issues. So I'm assuming I'm missing something in my command or I can't download the file with curl. Trying looking on the net but all the examples suggest I'm doing it right.
This is the command I'm using
curl -O --user username [servername]/file/to/get.xml
(removed credentials and server details for security. )
servername starts https://
This is what I get with verbose
.

Any help to understand what I'm doing wrong will be much appreciated.

curlopt_connecttimeout_ms
CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS(3) curl_easy_setopt options CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS(3)
NAME
CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS - timeout for the connect phase
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS, long timeout);
DESCRIPTION
Pass a long. It should contain the maximum time in milliseconds that you allow the connection phase to the server to take. This only lim-
its the connection phase, it has no impact once it has connected. Set to zero to switch to the default built-in connection timeout - 300
seconds. See also the CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS(3) option.
In unix-like systems, this might cause signals to be used unless CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL(3) is set.
DEFAULT
300000
PROTOCOLS
All
EXAMPLE
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com");
/* complete connection within 10000 milliseconds */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS, 10000L);
curl_easy_perform(curl);
}
AVAILABILITY
Always
RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK
