Wget error bash Windows Subsystem for Linux
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
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
