Question Wget fails for a valid URL
Wget Error Codes:
Code:
    0 No problems occurred.
    1 Generic error code.
    2 Parse error—for instance, when parsing command-line options, the .wgetrc or .netrc…
    3 File I/O error.
    4 Network failure.
    5 SSL verification failure.
    6 Username/password authentication failure.
    7 Protocol errors.
    8 Server issued an error response.

I get error code 8 instead of 0 with wget -q --no-check-certificate $url and no output..

Without the wget --no-check-certificate $url option below is the output received.

Code:
--2014-02-23 08:37:53--  https://cxyz:9443/Services/Account.jws
Resolving cxyz... 255.275.82.125
Connecting to cxyz|255.275.82.125|:9443... connected.
WARNING: cannot verify cxyz's certificate, issued by  `/C=US/O=xxxx./OU=xxxx/OU=Terms of use at https://www.verisign.com/rpa  (c)10/CN=VeriSign Class 3 Secure Server CA - G3':
  Self-signed certificate encountered.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 500 Server Error
2014-02-23 08:37:53 ERROR 500: Server Error.

Please suggest a fix !!

Error code 8.

How can i get error code 0 to appear for a invalid certificate URL because all i need to bother is if the URL exists or not.

It seems that the server replies with 500 to the URL you're calling. Try calling the URL via browser and if you still get 500, you'll need to check the web server.

The browser return is good. Here is the output from the browser.

Code:
  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:cer="http://heloz.com/Types/Public/ErrorResponse.xsd" encodingStyle=""><SOAP-ENV:Body><SOAP-ENV:Fault><faultcode>SOAP-ENV:Server</faultcode><faultstring>Unknown Error</faultstring><detail><soap1:CSIApplicationException xmlns:soap1="http://heloz.com/Types/Public/SoapFaultDetails.xsd" xmlns:cng="http://heloz.com/Types/Public/CingularDataModel.xsd" xmlns="http://heloz.com/Types/Public/SoapFault.xsd"><cer:Response> <cng:code>900</cng:code> <cng:description>Unknown Error</cng:description> </cer:Response> <cer:ServiceProviderEntity> <cer:reportingServiceEntity>CSI</cer:reportingServiceEntity> <cer:faultDate>2014-02-24T05:44:50.066-06:00</cer:faultDate> <cer:faultSequenceNumber>1</cer:faultSequenceNumber> <cer:faultLevel>ERROR</cer:faultLevel> <cer:faultCode>90000000001</cer:faultCode> <cer:faultDescription>Unknown Error</cer:faultDescription> <cer:ServiceProviderRawError> <cer:code>900</cer:code> <cer:description>Unknown Error</cer:description> </cer:ServiceProviderRawError> </cer:ServiceProviderEntity> </soap1:CSIApplicationException></detail></SOAP-ENV:Fault></SOAP-ENV:Body></SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

All that matters to me is if the URL exists (reachable) or not.

Kindly help find a solution !!

It seems that it returns an error via browser too. It that's OK for you just handle error code 8 as a success ...
