Title Body

I am trying to use wget via Cygwin to fetch some content from a https website. Unfortunately when I try to connect I get the following error: #wget https://www.mysite.com/mycontent Connecting to XXXXXXXX... connected. GnuTLS: A TLS fatal alert has been received. Unable to establish SSL connection. The certificate is a VeriSign Class 3 and is not expired. I have tried using options --no-check-certificate , --secure-protocol=SSLv2 , --secure-protocol=SSLv3 , etc which doesn't work but gives a slightly different error: $ wget --secure-protocol=SSLv3 --no-check-certificate https://www.mysite.com/mycontent Connecting to XXXXXX... connected. GnuTLS: GnuTLS internal error. Unable to establish SSL connection. I also tried exporting the DER certificate from Internet Explorer on my PC and then passing that certificate to wget which also failed: $ wget --certificate-type=DER --certificate=mysite.cer https://www.mysite.com/mycontent Connecting to XXXXX... connected. GnuTLS: A TLS fatal alert has been received. Unable to establish SSL connection. Is there something I'm missing? Can anyone point me in the direction of what I have to do to make this work? Sorry but I had to redact the real server info for employer confidentiality reasons. Here is my wget/cygwin configuration information: $ wget --version GNU Wget 1.13.4 built on cygwin. +digest +https +ipv6 +iri +large-file +nls -ntlm +opie +ssl/gnutls Wgetrc: /etc/wgetrc (system) Locale: /usr/share/locale Compile: gcc-4 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DSYSTEM_WGETRC="/etc/wgetrc" -DLOCALEDIR="/usr/share/locale" -I. -I/usr/src/wget-1.13.4-1/src/wget-1.13.4/src -I../lib -I/usr/src/wget-1.13.4-1/src/wget-1.13.4/lib -g -O2 -pipe Link: gcc-4 -g -O2 -pipe -liconv -lintl /usr/lib/libgnutls.dll.a /usr/lib/libtasn1.dll.a /usr/lib/libz.dll.a /usr
