If I try to download the some http files, Then wget works just fine (eg: wget download_link). But when i try to download https files using wget then I'm getting the following error



http request sent 
403 forbidden


My problem is, I can't download http files in my college wifi. So when I try to download the file, wget will send the http request to the server. Eventually, the download will be blocked.



To download the https file, I've tried using the following command



wget https://download_link


How to download https files (username and password is there in the download link too)?



Are there any extra options needed with wget?

Initially wget does not support the https downloads in some destributions. We need to compile the source code manually using openssl. After that we can do https downloads



Link to compile the wget using openssl :
