I recently installed a self signed SSL cert on one of our nginx webservers. If I attempt to wget a file with –no-check-certificate I receive the errors below. You can reach the site with a browser, the browser will recognize that it is self signed, and the cert displays all of the correct information. It seems based on the message I should find a way to trust the cert locally, but doesn’t that defeat the purpose of –no-check-certificate?
$ wget https://www.example.com/index.html –no-check-certificate–2015-02-20 14:13:58– https://www.example.com/index.htmlResolving example.com… 192.0.2.1Connecting to example.com|192.0.2.1|:443… connected.WARNING: cannot verify example.com’s certificate, issued by “/C=GB/ST=Greater Manchester/L=Salford/O=COMODO CA Limited/CN=COMODO RSA Domain Validation Secure Server CA”: Unable to locally verify the issuer’s authority.WARNING: no certificate subject alternative name matches requested host name “example.com”.HTTP request sent, awaiting response… Read error (Connection reset by peer) in headers.Retrying.
