Hi,
I have no idea what can I do. It has been working last Sunday but now it fails again - the same script!!

I want to download a https-page every Sunday evening and I want wget to ignore the certificate of the https-page!

PS-So my script has:

 $urlDFx  = "https://www.dailyfx.com/calendar/";
 $argList = " $urlDFx -O $rawDFx -o $logDFx --no-check-certificate "
$wg = Start-Process wget -wait -NoNewWindow -PassThru -ArgumentList $argList

The other variables are names of my local files - if you know wget you will know.

Last Sunday this worked perfect if I run it in the ps-cmd and in Powershell's ISE but it fails regularly if the script was called by the task scheduler.

Finally I got the task-scheduler-call to work by adding --verbose:
$argList = "$urlDFx -O $rawDFx -o $logDFx --no-check-certificate --verbose "

But today (Sunday again) the task-scheduler call failed and now even the call in the ISE failed???

The error is always the same:

> --2016-02-14 21:23:26--  https://www.dailyfx.com/calendar/
> Resolving www.dailyfx.com... 104.87.22.147
> Connecting to www.dailyfx.com|104.87.22.147|:443... connected.
> WARNING: cannot verify www.dailyfx.com's certificate, issued by `/C=US/O=GeoTrust Inc./CN=GeoTrust SSL CA - G3':
>   Unable to locally verify the issuer's authority.
> WARNING: certificate common name `fxcm.com' doesn't match requested host name `www.dailyfx.com'.
> HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 403 Forbidden
> 2016-02-14 21:23:26 ERROR 403: Forbidden.

So:
1) wget accesses the url but
2) ignores the option --no-check-certificate
3) stops the dld of the https-page but
4) tries the http-page and fails with a 403-error

What do I have to do that wget called by my Powershell script
=>  _FOR SURE_  (!!)
loads this https _IGNORING_ the certificate!!

Thanks in advance!
Gooly
