Sorry for the long previous post... I actually found the issue and fixed it.
Believe it or not, the problem was in the .wgetrc file on the PCA proxy server; here is the fix: Good: proxy_user=oracle12 Bad: proxy_password=38jTrf$d4x Good: proxy_password=38jTrf\$d4x There is an outbound proxy server in the DMZ that has its user/pass access info defined in the .wgetrc file, and the password contained a dollar sign ($). When I escaped the $ with a backslash in front of it, the client was then able to download the patch. The password for a different network proxy on my internal PCA proxy server has no dollar sign, thus I did not have the problem there. Lee
