[pca] MOS user name with @ character?

[Nishimura, Scott L (IT Solutions)]

Diana,

   Try 125555-08; I'm curious because that + 119254-78 are the only 2 that I can download.

Reviewed the wget doc on My Oracle Support site
and I think I've found my problem:
Highest version number access
http://sunsolve.sun.com/pdownload.do?target=141445&method=h returns 
141445-09
 >>>Not supported.  A full patch id with a specific version is required <<<

/usr/sfw/bin/pca -d 119254 -V <<< no version number

/usr/sfw/bin/pca -d 119254-78 -V worked.

tried a general download of r/s patches, 403 errors again
tried simple single download of 118666-28 , same errors

I've been using pca successfully for some time now (up to yesterday)
does anyone have suggestions on how to recognize MOS account problems?
