Using "wget", i'm trying to securely(HTTPS) get gpg keys/files from https://fedoraproject.org/keys site, which is using root I have tried: wget https://fedoraproject.org/static/DE7F38BD.txt But 'wget' showed following warning, its not able to verify cert & failing to download file over HTTPS : [wget msg] ... Connecting to fedoraproject.org|85.236.55.6|:443... connected. ERROR: certificate common name *.fedoraproject.org fedoraproject.org To connect to fedoraproject.org insecurely, use --no-check-certificate. [end of wget msg]
The certificate is a wildcard (for *.) and wget seems to expect a hostname like "something.fedoraproject.org" So either follow wget advice to not check the certificate, or just put something like "www." in front... wget https://www.fedoraproject.org/static/DE7F38BD.txt
