[Bug-wget] how to connect to HTPPS site with WGET

[Matt Andel]

Hello,
I have a website i have to connect to each day and download multiple zip file.  
The file is a HTTPS site and I log in with a username and password.  I then get 
to the page with multiple file and i have to right click each file and save as 
to save them.  I would love to use WGET to automate this process. The i use 
this 
command:

wget --server-response --http-user=username --http-password=password --no-check-
certificate "https://www.site.com/filename.zip";

I get this message from Wget:

SYSTEM_WGETRC = c:/progra~1/wget/etc/wgetrc
syswgetrc = c:/progra~1/wget/etc/wgetrc

When I look at the file is downloaded it is just the HTML code of the page the
zip file was one and not the zip file itself. 


I have tried connecting to the site in IE and Fire Fox and exporting the 
certificate to ta file and using the --CA-Certificate=file.cer is can not get 
past the security of the site.  

Does anyone know of a way to connect to the HTTPS site and download the files 
with WGET.  

thanks
