wget can't follow https-links?

Hi,

I just tried to download some pages from a website, that is only accessible
via https.

But I had to learn, that it seems, wget is not able to follow htpps links
within html-pages.

When I try to download this site with wget and use the switch -r to follow
the links within the page and let wget download this linked pages also,
wget just tells me:

Not following non-HTTP schemes.
Decided NOT to load it.

(you have to use the -d switch to get this debug-information)


Does anyone know if there's a way to configure wget in a way, that it also
follows https links and also downloads this pages.

It has no problems downloading the first page via https, just it won't
follow any links.

Any hint how I can get this linked pages would be appreciated.


Bye

Ralf

It depends on whether your version of wget was compiled with https
support or not. If your vendor's version doesn't support it, you can
always download and compile the wget source with https support. (Note
that https support is dependent upon having SSL libraries installed.)

Hi Steve,

my wget is compiled with https support.
The url I download is an https://domain.com url and wget has no problems
downloading this first page via https.

But when I try to download also the linked pages within this first page via
the switch -r, wget refuses to follow this https-links.

It is not the problem, that my wget can't download https at all.

Bye

Ralf
