[Bug-wget] --no-check-certificate does not work in 1.11.4.3287

[Tim Paulson]

The following command with -no-check-certificate works in wget 1.10.2 but fails 
in 1.11.4 on Win7.
wget -t 3 --http-user=admin --http-passwd=password --no-check-certificate 
https://192.168.1.51/admin/backups/latest

Has the syntax changed in 1.11.4 for the ability to ignore self signed 
certificate errors?

Sample output from wget 1.10.2 and wget 1.11.4 shown below.
