Of course, using the --no-check-certificate option does have its security drawbacks.  Without it you'll have to get wget to trust the certiaficate authority which can be a little cumbersome but well worth the effort.  Good luck.

Thanks!  I see now that my problem has been an old version of wget
(0.9.1 -- no --no-check=certificate).  Will upgrade ASAP.
