[Hamara-devel] Certificate problem in downloading hamara linux iso through command line tools

[shirish]

Dear Akshat,

It seems that the URL re-directs to some mirror internally.

Do

$ curl -# -O -L -v 
http://downloads.hamaralinux.org/final/hamara_1.0.3_amd64.iso

And you will see it starts to download as well as you see what is 
happening at the back-end a bit.

There is also --trace-ascii which you can also use for debugging 
purposes if needed.

-L is the crucial bit here as per man page

-L, --location
               (HTTP/HTTPS) If the server reports that the requested 
page has moved to a different location (indicated with a Location: 
header and a  3XX  response  code),  this  option  will make curl redo 
the request on the new place. If used together with -i, --include or -I, 
--head, headers from all requested pages will be shown. When 
authentication is used, curl only sends its credentials to the  initial 
host. If a redirect takes curl to a different host, it won't be able to 
intercept the user+password. See also --location-trusted on how to 
change this. You can limit the amount of redirects to follow by using 
the --max-redirs option.

               When curl follows a redirect and the request is not a 
plain GET (for example POST or PUT), it will do the following request 
with a GET if the HTTP response was 301, 302, or 303. If the response 
code was any other 3xx code, curl will re-send the following request 
using the same unmodified method.

               You can tell curl to not change the non-GET request 
method to GET after a 30x response by using  the  dedicated  options 
for  that:  --post301, --post302 and -post303.

Let us know if you still get errors after trying the above flag/switch.
