[pca] Downloading patches from proxy

[Fairburn, Jeremy]

Martin,

I am using the wgetrc file to feed information to the proxy.  I get the
same error when running that command.  I also tried to set the
username/password in the wgetrc file which didn't help either.  I am
using the username/password for my Oracle account.  Please let me know
if that's not the right combination.

This sounds as if your proxy server requires authorization to be able to
use it. 
Can you verify that? If that's true, you might have to include
user/password 
information in the proxy setting. See e.g.:

   http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/manual/html_node/Proxies.html

How do you feed information about the proxy to pca/wget - using pca's 
"--wgetproxy=URL" option or is it set in some wgetrc file? If it's
wgetrc, make 
sure that you set https_proxy, and not (only) http_proxy.

Check if a command like this works - if not, show us the output:

wget --no-check-certificate --execute https_proxy=<your_proxy_setting> 
https://getupdates.oracle.com/reports/patchdiag.xref -O patchdiag.xref
