There was some discussion on wget with ssl support back in January with a link to a new compiled version. The link no longer works. Is there a new wget for dsl that supports ssl available? I know the wget in the gnu_utilities works but all I want is just the wget command (trying to save space).

1. That thread was last posted to in Jan of 2006.
2. The only link I see is to yahoo's secure server and not for any compiled version of anything. If the link is broken, it's yahoo's problem and not DSL's.
3. The person who made the post noted that the yahoo secure server link didn't work when using the links browser.
4. The thread is primarily about SSL in links, not wget.
5. The question about making a DSL package was for the browser links, not wget.

If you just want the gnu version of wget, but not the whole gnu-utils package, you can just extract that only from it for your use.

Or you can use curl. There's a UCI version in testing.
