[pca] pca patch download fails with Unknown error/patch not found

[Becktold, Lisa M. (LARC-B7)[Chugach Federal Solutions, Inc.]]

Hi,

I'm trying to download patches from http://getupdates.oracle.com.

The latest patchdiag.xref is located in /var/tmp on this particular problem server.

I typed these commands:

cd /usr/local/bin
./pca.perl -l missingrs
./pca.perl -d -y -P /usr/local/patches missingrs

I'm prompted for an Oracle user account and password, which I type in.  The download then starts scrolling with "Failed (Unknown Error)" messages:

I am seeing snoop traffic between my server and "bigip-updates.oracle.com" for HTTPS.

Has anyone seen this kind of error message before?
