Thanks I got them.
You said you haven't used them since the Novell conversion. If so, you
may not know.
But if you have used them since the Novell conversion:
1. When I go to
https://you.novell.com/update/s390/update/SUSE-CORE/9/rpm/s390/ via a
web browser, notice the "https". I end up in an FTP site.
When I execute the wget, I fail on messages like:
--15:54:01--
ftp://https:21/%2Fyou.novell.com/update/s390/update/SUSE-CORE/9/rpm/s390/
=>

Connecting to https:21...
https: Host not found
I'm not surprised. Unescape the URI:
https//you.novell.com/update/s390/update/SUSE-CORE/9/rpm/s390/
You shouldn't need to port number, but if you did:
https//you.novell.com:21/update/s390/update/SUSE-CORE/9/rpm/s390/
or
ftp://you.novell.com/update/s390/update/SUSE-CORE/9/rpm/s390/
The best documentation I've seen on URN syntax was part of webexplorer
on OS/2.

My test command is simular to (with userid and password masked)):
wget --output-file=c:\tget.listing --tries=3 --wait=3 --timestamping -e
robots=off --no-host-directories --cut-dirs=1 --mirror --no-parent
--http-user=xxxxxxxx --http-passwd=xxxxxxx --directory-prefix=c:\
--reject gif --cache=off
https://you.novell.com/update/s390/update/SUSE-CORE/9/rpm/s390/
If I try http instead of https, it complains there is no index file
present, but it seems to find the host.
Any ideas?
It could be that I have an old copy of wget for windows. I downloaded
the first one that came up with google.
wget --version
I can't test the site myself, but if you got a redirect to an ftp URI
(possible) and then wget munged it then you have found a bug in wget.
