Dear all,
With ESXi 6.7.0 up-to-date, I have a problem with wget and https links.
wget and http links, it works but it is not secure.
How to solve it?
It is a major bug from the company?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
default host:
esxcli network firewall ruleset set -e false -r httpClient
esxcli network firewall ruleset list | grep -E '^Name|^---|http'
Name Enabled
---------------------- -------
httpClient false
wget https://domain.tld/iso.iso
Connecting to domain.tld (XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:443)
We enable:
esxcli network firewall ruleset set -e true -r httpClient
esxcli network firewall ruleset list | grep -E '^Name|^---|http'
Name Enabled
---------------------- -------
httpClient true
We can test wget https link:
wget https://domain.tld/iso.iso
Connecting to domain.tld (XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:443)
wget: error getting response: Cannot assign requested address
You can see the error.
In http (not secure), it works:
wget http://domain.tld/iso.iso
Connecting to domain.tld (XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:80)
saving to 'iso.iso'

same issue on 7.0U2 18538813
it looks like wget --no-check-certificate works
I have resolved with this: wget --no-check-certificate --user-agent="Mozilla" 'https://....'
