Wget TLS 1.2 error

sslwget

According to the manual, I should be able to specify TLS version 1.2 when using wget.

When I try, it fails.

wget https://site --no-check-certificate --secure-protocol=TLSv1_2
wget: --secure-protocol: Invalid value ‘TLSv1_2’.

If I use wget https://site --no-check-certificate --secure-protocol=TLSv1, it works just fine.

Version information:

wget --version
GNU Wget 1.15 built on linux-gnu.

Best Answer

As written on the project page of wget, the secure protocols TLSv1_1 and TLSv1_2 were added in wget version 1.16.1. Your wget 1.15 does not support it.
