Download Solaris 10 iso file with wget. How I did it.
915087Feb 9 2012 — edited Feb 9 2012I've found out a solution to download solaris 10 iso file and the iso download is near to be completed. I want to share my experience with you and I hope you don't mind my doing this.
Many people helped me found out the solution.
Thanks to them.
I was asked to use wget by Corona688

and to use -c with wget by Brandon Hume

told me "You need an Oracle equivalent to
Sun's wget_sdlc shell script which wrapped wget(1) with the SSL and HTTP Cookie options to SSO authenticate and indicate acceptance of the OTN license for customers and potential customers with limited bandwidth. Here's a first stab:http://blogs.oracle.com/supportportal/entry/use_of_wget_instead_of_downloa"
But I couldn't find oracle's WGET but found instead (by google) the following:

This post was very helpful but slightly different in nature
so I did some R&D with wget and download link.
First wget was initiated by firefox so wget started downloading iso file and printing output on console.
I copied the download link from that output, disconnected that download, started wget manually with -c and download
link which appeared with authentication parameter.
Here is my download link.
wget -c http-user=myname@domain.tld http-passwd=mypasswd --no-check-certificate http://download.oracle.com/otn/solar...159b3501fe72a7
I had started download and got disconnection with read error (due to the problem at my network. got ping loss)but started again and it has started at the offset of previously downloaded part.
