I work as a webmaster for a US Government agency. We currently use a program called "Automize" to do everything that wget could do for us. Many government websites require a client certificate (called PKI) to access the website. Basically, it lets websites verify that the person is who they say they are.
Automize cannot access PKI-enabled websites, as it does not support that functionality. I was reading up about Wget, and I saw that you can send a specific cookie back to a website. This is almost exactly what I am looking for, but instead of a cookie, it's a personal certificate, with an extension of .p12 . I am not a code writer, I just like great programs. I can't find anything that sends does client auth that would allow me to get content off of those sites. If anyone can tell me if that is something that is maybe coming up in later builds or if that functionality is already available, I would greatly appreciate it. Also, I realize money talks to developers. If someone was to donate to the development (I know how much beer and Taco bell costs :P) would that make it more possible of this feature being added??? Just asking... thanks for answering... Bryan
