UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi,

I'm having an issue with wget/SSL. Let me clarify I have very little understanding of Openssl. I'm trying to wget a file from a remote server

Code:

wget -v  --user=UNAME --password='Pass@word' https://densky.keurua.it/out/2013070...2045480693.xml

I get the following error message

Code:

--12:19:57--  https://densky.keurua.it/out/2013070...2045480693.xml
Resolving densky.keurua.it... ##.##.###.###
Connecting to densky.keurua.it|##.##.###.###|:443... connected.
Unable to establish SSL connection.

Im using RHEL 5.3 and openssl version 0.9.8e-7.el5. The version of wget is GNU Wget 1.10.2 (Red Hat modified)

I have done some search on google and found nothing helpful.

Thanks

It doesn't seem to work in a web browser either, so I'm not going to blame wget here.

Just for clarification: "wget" is just another browser - one, which can be used inside a script instead of interactively so. If there is no regular "http"- (or "https"-) connection possible it won't work. Simply put, if you can't see the page using Mozilla (Chrome, Opera, IE, ...) you can't get it with "wget" either.

This has nothing to do with "OpenSSL". Are you sure you need "wget" to get the file or should that be "sftp", "scp" or something such?

I hope this helps.

The issue is now resolved. It was an issue with proxy authentication.
