If the server is using session cookies to track user authentication,
the above will not work because @samp{--save-cookies} will not save
them (and neither will browsers) and the @file{cookies.txt} file will
be empty. In that case use @samp{--keep-session-cookies} along with
@samp{--save-cookies} to force saving of session cookies.

@cindex SSL
To support SSL-based HTTP (HTTPS) downloads, Wget must be compiled
To support encrypted HTTP (HTTPS) downloads, Wget must be compiled
with an external SSL library, currently OpenSSL. If Wget is compiled
without SSL support, none of these options are available.
@table @samp
@item --sslcertfile=@var{file}
@cindex SSL protocol, choose
@item --secure-protocol=@var{protocol}
Choose the secure protocol to be used. Legal values are @samp{auto},
@samp{SSLv2}, @samp{SSLv3}, and @samp{TLSv1}. If @samp{auto} is used,
the SSL library is given the liberty of choosing the appropriate
protocol automatically, which is achieved by sending an SSLv2 greeting
and announcing support for SSLv3 and TLSv1. This is the default.
Specifying @samp{SSLv2}, @samp{SSLv3}, or @samp{TLSv1} forces the use
of the corresponding protocol. This is useful when talking to old and
buggy SSL server implementations that make it hard for OpenSSL to
choose the correct protocol version. Fortunately, such servers are
quite rare.
@cindex SSL certificate, check
@item --no-check-certificate
Don't check the server certificate against the available client
authorities. If this is not specified, Wget will break the SSL
handshake if the server certificate is not valid.
@cindex SSL certificate
@item --certificate=@var{file}
Use the client certificate stored in @var{file}. This is needed for
servers that are configured to require certificates from the clients
that connect to them. Normally a certificate is not required and this
switch is optional.
@cindex SSL certificate
@item --sslcertkey=@var{keyfile}
Read the certificate key from @var{keyfile}.
@cindex SSL certificate type, specify
@item --certificate-type=@var{type}
Specify the type of the client certificate. Legal values are
@samp{PEM} (assumed by default) and @samp{DER}, also known as
@samp{ASN1}.
@item --private-key=@var{file}
Read the private key from @var{file}. This allows you to provide the
private key in a file separate from the certificate.
@item --private-key-type=@var{type}
Specify the type of the private key. Accepted values are @samp{PEM}
(the default) and @samp{DER}.
@item --ca-certificate=@var{file}
Use @var{file} as the file with the bundle of certificate authorities
(``CA'') to verify the peers. The certificates must be in PEM format.
Without this option Wget looks for CA certificates at the
system-specified locations, chosen at OpenSSL installation time.
@cindex SSL certificate authority
@item --sslcadir=@var{directory}
Specifies directory used for certificate authorities (``CA'').
@item --ca-directory=@var{directory}
Specifies directory containing CA certificates in PEM format. Each
file contains one CA certificate, and the file name is based on a hash
value derived from the certificate. This is achieved by processing a
certificate directory with the @code{c_rehash} utility supplied with
OpenSSL. Using @samp{--ca-directory} is more efficient than
@samp{--ca-certificate} when many certificates are installed because
it allows Wget to fetch certificates on demand.
@item --sslcafile=@var{file}
Use @var{file} as the file with the bundle of certificate authorities.
@cindex SSL certificate type, specify
@item --sslcerttype=0/1
Specify the type of the client certificate: 0 means @code{PEM}
(default), 1 means @code{ASN1} (@code{DER}).
@cindex SSL certificate, check
@item --sslcheckcert=0/1
If set to 1, check the server certificate against the specified client
authorities. If this is 0 (the default), Wget will break the SSL
handshake if the server certificate is not valid.
@cindex SSL protocol, choose
@item --sslprotocol=0-3
Choose the SSL protocol to be used. If 0 is specified (the default),
the OpenSSL library chooses the appropriate protocol automatically.
Specifying 1 forces the use of SSLv2, specifying 2 forces SSLv3, and
specifying 3 forces TLSv1.
In most cases the OpenSSL library is capable of making an intelligent
choice of the protocol, but there have been reports of sites that use
old (and presumably buggy) server libraries with which a protocol has
to be specified manually.
Without this option Wget looks for CA certificates at the
system-specified locations, chosen at OpenSSL installation time.
