Sigh. Too bad, this option was very useful to diagnose patch access problems.

If you want, you can try the underlying wget command and see if the problem is 
exactly the same. Run:

   wget --no-check-certificate --http-user MOSuser --http-passwd MOSpasswd
   "https://support.oracle.com/CSP/login?cmd=status" -O status.xml

One gets redirected to login.oracle.com (which is fine), but then receives a 
2009 bytes long text/html file, which includes this message:

   <p class="loginFailed">System error. Please re-try your action.
   If you continue to get this error, please contact the Administrator.</p>

With all these redirections, I have no idea why it doesn't work anymore. If you 
login to Oracle in your browser, you can then access the above "status" URL 
fine. So it seems as if only non-interactive access is affected (which of course 
is what PCA needs).

Martin.
