Re: [Bug-wget] --no-check-cert does not avoid cert warning

I understand, though don't completely agree with, Tim's pessimistic
scenario.  In any case, my wish is that there be a way to get rid of the
warning message (other than being completely silent).  Whether it is
done via changing --no-check-cert or via some new/other option doesn't
matter to me.

I am using wget from a script, as surely many people do, and it is far
too annoying for every invocation of wget to give a useless warning
message.  At present, I'm using curl -sS instead :(.

On the other front, IMHO the text of the warning message is immaterial.
Either people will understand, or care enough to look it up and figure
out what's happening, or no text will be good enough.

thanks,
k
