The "--secure-protocol=SSLv3" bit looks suspect. According to the wget
man page this forces only SSLv3 to be negotiated. If the server doesn't
support it (which is common) then you're out of luck. SSLv3 is very old,
insecure and generally should not be used. Setting "--secure-protocol"
to "auto" (the default) would be a better choice.
