My browser uses my PC's proxy setting. As far as I can see it uses some $http_URL. So, I put
https_proxy=$http_URL
http_proxy=$http_URL
The http connection work fine
wget $http_URL
but I can't get https connection to work. The error I get is
Connecting to autocache.xxx.com|x.x.x.x|:80... connected.
OpenSSL: error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol
Since the proxy setting works on the browser, maybe missing some setting in wget?
Some other post mentioned the error is because my connection is not targeting port 443 on the target host. I would have thought
wget $https_URL
should be going to port 443?
Any help welcome.
