Bug Description
In a terminal, when I run the following:
wget https:/
I get an error message about certificates, as follows.
ERROR: cannot verify www.linz.govt.nz's certificate, issued by ‘CN=Thawte RSA CA 2018,OU=
The file is not downloaded. I contacted the maintainers of the site, they declared there is no problem with the certificate.
Of course, this probably isn't a problem with wget, or with curl which gives a similar error and the advice to go to this page:
https:/
Unfortunately that's way over my head, so I'm hoping someone helpful here can shed some light on the matter.
Thanks
