[pca] PCA / cron

pca searches the PATH for wget binaries, and will use the "best" one it 
finds. It will prefer HTTPS if it finds a wget which supports it. Most 
probably there is no wget with HTTPS support in the default PATH used by 
cron on the affected machine. When running it manually, you probably 
have a different PATH leading to a "better" wget binary.

Either set PATH in your cron job, or use pcas' "--wget" option to point 
it an SSL-enabled wget.

BTW - did you solve the other problem regarding the authentication errors?

hth,

Martin.
