I could send you my windows wget.bat script I've  used to mirror Suse's
S390 SLES8 and SLES9 sites; haven't tried it with new Novell site but it
sounds like just a URL change according to Mark's post.
You'd have to install free GnuWin32 wget on a PC

I don't know what parts of that would be correct.

My impression is that wget does the same thing, security wise, as your
browser.  That is, it gets certificates and does it's automagical thing
that allows you to connect to the outside world.

So, my impression (and I haven't the foggest idea what I'm talking
about on this one), is:

Your browser connected to an agent, which exchanges certificates.  If
valid, then translates your private IP address to a public IP address to
go out to the public Internet.  This function seems to be called NAT or
NATTed.

>From a discussion a couple years ago, wget will also do the same
functions as a browser.  But I didn't spend much time trying to get it
to work.
