Sorry, I went off-list for a bit.  wget 1.16 works fine from another machine (windows / cygwin), so the latest theory 
is that it has to do with our server.  I'm thinking the DDOS service of cloudflare is activated by our hourly checks 
for new rules...

We have moved to Cloudflare to balance the traffic we are receiving on the
site.  We had a particular user that shared an oinkcode somewhere, and as a
result we were dealing with over 35 Millon downloads a day, so we had to
upgrade a bit.

We have heard that older versions (or perhaps older cert trusts) of curl and
wget are having a problem navigating through Cloudflare over to the site.
It’s difficult for us to pin down as our tests work, and download numbers
are staying constant, however, we have had a few people (like yourselves)
say you can’t reach the site.

I suggest the above.  (versions of curl/wget/cert trusts) and let me know
your results.

If you use Debian Stable you get wget 1.13.4.
Googling the error message hints that you need wget >= 1.15.


Do anyone have a workaround? I don't want to compile the latest wget
manually, since this breaks the ability to easily keep everything
up to date with 'apt-get upgrade'.

Hi All,

We use wget to obtain rule updates from snort.org<http://snort.org/> with our oink code, but it
is now broken.  Apparently, snort.org<http://snort.org/> is now behind cloudflare, which denies
direct IP access.  Basically, the cert wget ultimately receives is
cloudflare's cert, not snort.org<http://snort.org/>'s.  A web browser seems to get redirected
somehow to the real snort site and gets the snort.org<http://snort.org/> cert.  Thoughts?


wget works fine over here...  we've not seen any problems using it other
than a
few niggles here and there that were easily taken care of...

do you perhaps mean amazonaws instead of cloudfare?

what url are you using to get the rules? (obfuscate your oinkcode)

what version of snort are you trying to get rules for?
