Hello,
we use an LDAP authentication scheme on our servers at GES DISC NASA
GSFC to authenticate data access. We discovered that some wget versions
do not correctly pass credentials to the LDAP server. To our knowledge
wget 1.12 and lower as well as wget 1.17 do not work as expected and
wget 1.14, 1.15 and 1.18 work.
I will greatly appreciate if you could look into this and see if you
correct issue in wget past 1.14 as we advise to our users to download
wget 1.14 and higher.
To replicate the issue just follow three steps on
http://disc.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/registration
A sample URL to try after above steps are performed is:
wget --content-disposition --load-cookies ~/.urs_cookies --save-cookies
~/.urs_cookies --auth-no-challenge=on --keep-session-cookies
"http://acdisc-ts1.gesdisc.eosdis.nasa.gov/daac-bin/OTF/HTTP_services.cgi?FILENAME=%2Fdata%2Fs4pa%2FAura_OMI_Level2G%2FOMTO3G.003%2F2005%2FOMI-Aura_L2G-OMTO3G_2005m0101_v003-2012m0404t152005.he5&FORMAT=SERGLw&BBOX=0%2C-100%2C90%2C180&LABEL=OMI-Aura_L2G-OMTO3G_2005m0101_v003-2012m0404t152005.SUB.he5&SHORTNAME=OMTO3G&SERVICE=SUBSET_HE5&VERSION=1.02&DATASET_VERSION=003&VARIABLES=ColumnAmountO3"
I greatly appreciate you efforts!
