[pca] Changes on SunSolve cause problems with pca

[Rajiv Gunja]

Martin,
If you remove ssprot option, wouldn't it mean that client servers
downloading from a local repository will try SSL and if we do not support
SSL on our web-servers, it would fail?
Let me know. Thanks

> 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.
