[TriLUG] curl vs wget

[Tanner Lovelace]

Are you connecting to an SSL website (https)?  Wget, last I checked,
didn't check
SSL certificates so it works with self-signed ones.  Curl, on the other hand
does try to check certificates and will have trouble with self-signed ones
unless you pass it a command line option.

Cheers,
Tanner
