Re: [Bug-wget] Trying to wget files from IEEE802 document server

[Ángel González]

This is odd. Apparently, there's a trust difference between the two UA.
I first thought that Verisign root CA wasn't available in the store used
by wget, but wget downloads https://www.verisign.com/ fine, and both
sites have the same certificate root "VeriSign Class 3 Public Primary
Certification Authority - G5" (serial
18:DA:D1:9E:26:7D:E8:BB:4A:21:58:CD:CC:6B:3B:4A).
The difference may lie in that www.verisign.com is providing the three
certificates, but mentor.ieee.org only the last two.

That for the certificate failure.

The problem you get when using --no-check-certificate is due to
https://mentor.ieee.org/802.18/dcn/12/ not containing a file list. TRy
going to https://mentor.ieee.org/802.18/dcn/12/ in your browser: "Not
Found The page requested was not found or is not a functioning properly"

Obviously,
wget --no-check-certificate
https://mentor.ieee.org/802.15/dcn/12/15-12-0290-01-0009-tg9-closing-report-may-2012.ppt

works properly.
