wget and https

[rbfss]

I running version 4.7 instead of 5.x because I need the openvpn extension.  Anyway, I can't get wget to download a file via https.  I've tried the wget extension but that doesn't seem to help.

Try to install wget extension and run 'hash -r' to use /usr/local/bin/wget.

Hi rbfss

Anyway, I can't get wget to download a file via https.

You also don't provide any information. What command did you enter? What was the response?
Here is a link on wget and https:

Thanks for the link.  Is TinyCore's wget compiled with SSL support?

Hi rbfss
Yes.

When I enter for example:   wget http://google.com

I do get the index.html from Google as expected.

If however I enter: wget https://google.com

I get the response: 

wget:  not an http or ftp url: https://google.com


When I use the chrome browser, it loads https://google.com without any problems.

I've read several sections of the manual but It seems this should just work, and that's why I thought that maybe the TinyCore wget was compiled without support for SSL.

Thanks for any thoughts.

Show the output of 'which wget'.

[rbfss]

it's:

/usr/bin/wget

You need to use wget.tcz.
