https://edelivery.oracle.com and wget

This is a cool enhancement / feature that I noticed the other day.

When downloading software from edelivery, I see:

the wget option at the end.

You can choose this and download a script:

You can cut and paste the script to your linux machine, and if the proxy is set up right, you can do the gets.

This has multiple advantages – but primarily if you do not have a graphical interface, you can do all of your downloading.

In this instance I was trying to download a couple of files.

You can also see that I’ve added set –x to my script as I needed to debug some proxy settings, this is a good option, as the script does not have a lot of output if things are going wrong.

Thanks oracle, this is a nice feature!
