Wget error bash Windows Subsystem for Linux
HSTS is an optional security measurement on top on HTTPS. As the HTTPS connection itself works and the file has been downloaded this seems to be rather a warning than an error. Therefore I see three options:
- Disable HSTS on each call using the wget option
--no-hsts
- Try to create a file in
/home/atul/.wget-hsts
with the appropriate permissions and try if wget makes use of this file - Just ignore this warning
I just came across the issue myself and in my case the .wget-hsts
file was group and world writeable. I've just limited it to be user writable and the error vanished:
Before
-rw-rw-rw- 1 matthias matthias 165 Mar 13 13:57 .wget-hsts
After
-rw-r--r-- 1 matthias matthias 165 Mar 13 13:57 .wget-hsts
