wget ssl alert handshake failure

Question

I am trying to download files from an https site and keep getting the following error   OpenSSL  error 14077410 SSL routines SSL23 GET SERVER HELLO sslv3 alert handshake failure Unable to establish SSL connection    From reading blogs online I gather I have to provide the server cert and the client cert  I have found steps on how to download the server cert but not the client cert  Does anyone have a complete set of steps to use wget with SSL  I also tried the --no-check-certificate option but that did not work   wget version  wget-1 13 4 openssl version  OpenSSL 1 0 1f 6 Jan 2014   trying to download all lecture resources from a course s webpage on coursera org  So  the URL would look something like this  https   class coursera org matrix-002 lecture  Accessing this webpage online requires form authentication  not sure if that is causing the failure

You probably have an old version of wget. I suggest installing wget using Chocolatey, the package manager for Windows. This should give you a more recent version (if not the latest).

Run this command after having installed Chocolatey (as Administrator):

choco install wget

It works from here with same OpenSSL version  but a newer version of wget  1 15   Looking at the Changelog there is the following significant change regarding your problem      1 14  Add support for TLS Server Name Indication    Note that this site does not require SNI  But www coursera org requires it  And if you would call wget with -v --debug  as I ve explicitly recommended in my comment   you will see     wget https   class coursera org     HTTP request sent  awaiting response      HTTP 1 1 302 Found     Location  https   www coursera org   following      Connecting to www coursera org  www coursera org  54 230 46 78  443    connected  OpenSSL  error 14077410 SSL routines SSL23 GET SERVER HELLO sslv3 alert handshake failure Unable to establish SSL connection    So the error actually happens with www coursera org and the reason is missing support for SNI  You need to upgrade your version of wget

Basically your OpenSSL uses SSLv3 and the site you are accessing does not support that protocol   Just update your wget   sudo apt-get install wget  Or if it is already supporting another secure protocol  just add it as argument   wget https   example com --secure-protocol PROTOCOL v1

I was in SLES12 and for me it worked after upgrading to wget 1 14  using --secure-protocol TLSv1 2 and using --auth-no-challenge   wget --no-check-certificate --secure-protocol TLSv1 2 --user satul --password xxx --auth-no-challenge -v --debug https   jenkins-server artifact build x86 64 tgz

One alternative is to replace the  https  with  http  in the url that you re trying to download from to just circumvent the SSL connection   Not the most secure solution  but this worked in my case
