The most recent development version of pca (20090818-01) features two
changes:
* Ignore ssprot option for patch downloads, which require HTTPS
I have not removed the ssprot option completely (yet), as it can still
be used when downloading the patchdiag.xref file, and it's unknown at
this time what's going to happen with downloads of READMEs.
* Find the newest wget binary with the best protocol support
Until now, pca used the first wget it found. Now it checks for the best
one. It will prefer wget with HTTPS support over one with HTTP only, and
the wget with a higher version number if it supports at least the same
protocols.
Documentation for --sprot/--download/--wget has been adapted, and an
error message is shown when attempting to download patches without an
SSL/HTTPS enabled wget.
The changes won't have an affect on systems which are setup correcly
already (wget with SSL/HTTPS support, no "ssprot=http" setting
anywhere). It's just supposed to work correctly in more environments
without special configuration.
