Ignore certificate warnings in wget | ProMind

If you need to download a file via wget from a remote server and the connection is secured through SSL you might see the error message:

 ERROR: The certificate of `secure.cockpit365.com’ is not trusted.

Certificate warnings can be:

• Expired
• Not trusted issuer (self-signed certificates)
• Incorrect host name
• etc.

If you know what you are doing you can use 

wget --no-check-certificate http://www.example

switch to make wget ignore certificate warnings.
