[Bug-wget] the gnu.org wget manual

[John]

Hello.

After looking at the manual for wget while online here 
"https://www.gnu.org/software/wget/manual/wget.html";, I created the 
following command to download it:

wget --secure-protocol=auto --convert-links --page-requisites --append-output=c:\logging\wget\wget.log 
--server-response --read-timeout=600 
www.gnu.org/software/wget/manual/wget.html

The command failed and the log explained that it could not verify the CA 
certificate from Gandi. I looked at the Gandi site to see about downloading 
it, but I couldn't find any link for it. Then I sent an email to the 
webmaster at "gnu.org", and he promptly responded with this link, 
"http://crt.gandi.net/GandiStandardSSLCA.crt";.  I downloaded that 
certificate and let Windows install it in the default location of its 
choice. I am using 64-bit Win7.

I then ran the same command, but nothing different happened.  Finally, I 
ended up changing the command by adding this option, 
"--no-check-certificate". This time it worked.  Nevertheless, it would seem 
to me that I ought to be able to get, of all things, the wget manual from 
Gnu with a secure connection. To be honest, I have to believe that many 
others here likely have encountered the same issue.  What part of this 
picture am I missing? Thanks.
