[SOLVED] Problems downloading using curl and wget

dale2k9 · 01-29-2016, 03:24 PM

I'm not sure if this is a Linux issue for me or something to post to the jboss wildfly forums. I am trying to download wildfly onto a centos box using wget or curl. The commands I tried are:

wget http://download.jboss.org/wildfly/9....2.Final.tar.gz

curl -O http://download.jboss.org/wildfly/9....2.Final.tar.gz

In both cases, the downloads failed saying the connection was refused but if I post the same URL, http://download.jboss.org/wildfly/9....2.Final.tar.gz, into a browser the file downloads just fine. I was able to download other files from other JBoss servers so I don't know if it is a problem with my request or their server.

Any ideas what might be wrong, if anything, on my end?

Thanks.

Not sure, I just tried the wget version on my machine and it's working fine.

Code:

curl -O  http://download.jboss.org/wildfly/9.0.2.Final/wildfly-9.0.2.Final.tar.gz

works from here.

Are you getting this message?

Code:

the connection was refused when attempting to contact http://(site your trying to go to) though the site seems valid the browser was unable to establish a connection

That happened to me the other day that I tried to go to the CUPS website.
Upon running 'cupsd' in the konsole solved that.

what ever happened to FTP?

Code:

userx@voided ~>>$lftp http://download.jboss.org/wildfly
cd: received redirection to `http://download.jboss.org/wildfly/'
cd: Access failed: 403 Forbidden (/wildfly)
userx@voided ~>>$lftp http://download.jboss.org/
cd ok, cwd=/
lftp download.jboss.

looks like the directrory wildfly is forbidden usig lftp

Question:

why dont you just open a browser and download it like that?
or
just click on it in your question here and it works for me

try command below just check if you are able to resolve successfully or whether the file exists, anyway it won't download the file so no harm.

wget --spider http://download.jboss.org/wildfly/9....2.Final.tar.gz

Good luck!!

Thanks, all. I'll try the spider option. It sounds like others here have had mixed results, too. I assume the issue is on the side of the Jboss server. I have been focused on other things and haven't got to work on this for a couple weeks but I do appreciate the help and support. I'll try it again later this week, I hope.

Let us know what progress you make.

Looks like a reverse proxy server side issue.
My opinion is that, for some reason, the firewall between you and the web server (akamai side) think that your wget or curl -O is an attack.
