Supported downloads need authentication
To download licensed, supported packages from download.zarafa.com one needs the portal user credentials to authenticate. This works quite okay in your browser, but when using wget, a few options need to be set.
Without authentication one will get the following error:
$ wget https://download.zarafa.com/supported/final/6.40/changelog-6.40.txt --2011-03-09 18:02:36-- https://download.zarafa.com/supported/final/6.40/changelog-6.40.txt Resolving download.zarafa.com... 80.69.93.40 Connecting to download.zarafa.com|80.69.93.40|:443... connected. HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 401 Authorization Required Authorisation failed.
wget command line options
By specifying the option --user and --ask-password wget will ask for the credentials. Below is an example. Change the username and download link to your needs.
wget --user=username --ask-password https://download.zarafa.com/supported/final/6.40/changelog-6.40.txt
