Hi gooly,
it is not wget that have to be blamed.
The server says "permission denied" included in the 403 response.
You can check that by adding --content-on-error.
That means --no-check-certificate works correctly. Wget connects to the
server, sends a request and gets a response (403 Forbidden).
You'll need some credentials (Username/Password) to connect to the server for
sure. The reason why it sometimes works and sometimes not might be a IP
address caching on the server. If you login on the server with a browser and
after that use wget from the same IP address, the server might let you in (for
a while, e.g. 10 or 30 minutes).

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:

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!
