Failure to down load ISO : wget yields "Filename too long"

SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop SLED Install-Boot
1

Hi,

I have been trying to down SUSE 11 ISO’s for a project on a CentOS (Chrome and Firefox)
and Windows for a day now and they never finish ( I am located in Texas) - I end up trunicated iso’s .

I finally resorted to using wget method on Linux and I get a error “file name too long”:

wget --http-user=<> --http-password=<> ‘http://download.novell.com/sendredirect?target=%2Fprot%2FefgnQnRkzh4~%2FSLED-11-SP1-DVD-i586-GM-DVD1.iso&buildid=efgnQnRkzh4~&fileid=HHRkAJ0J1Jk~&mirror=AkamaiHost&nohost=false&guid=ce61c66d-e43e-4460-8840-3bc66b937a42’

yields:

I perused the FAQ and didn’t see anything .

Thanks !

Perhaps add ‘-O SLED-11-SP1-DVD-i586-GM-DVD1.iso’ to your wget command.
Any reason you’re going for SP1 instead of SP2?

Good luck.

Thanks for the help.

I tried the “-O” option and the result file is simply a xml file, not the iso:

This occurs on both SP1 and SP2 images.

On the download page, there is a reference I am following:

http://download.novell.com/dl_manager_inst.html

I also get the XML file. I don’t recall using using wget with http-user and http-password before, though I have used it before like this

$ wget --load-cookies cookies.txt 'http://download.novell.com/sendredirect?target=%2Fprot%2FHJJrgsvxzd4%7E%2FSLED-11-SP2-DVD-i586-GM-DVD1.iso&buildid=HJJrgsvxzd4~& fileid=ogcvSy3_NOw~&mirror=AkamaiHost&nohost=false' -O SLED-11-SP2-DVD-i586-GM-DVD1.iso

and that’s currently working for me. cookies.txt is a file containing my Firefox cookies exported using this Add-on https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/cookies-exportimport/ whilst I’m logged in with my Novell/SUSE account.

Add --auth-no-challenge to wget; that page apparently needs to be updated
since this requirement came a while ago:

Code:

wget --auth-no-challenge --user=userNere --password=pwdHere
http://cdn.novell.com/prot/HJJrgsvxzd4~/SLED-11-SP2-DVD-i586-GM-DVD1.iso

Good luck.

Thanks - That cured it !

Perhaps someone can update that Howto ?

Anyone tried this recently? NONE of the above solutions seem to work.

Making your first post in a long dormant thread is a common would be spammer tactic but given your IP address I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt that you’re a real person. :wink:

I just tried the both ‘wget --auth-no-challenge --user=userHere --password=pwdHere’ and wget with cookies exported from Firefox methods to download the SLED 11 SP3 iso and they both worked.

Exactly what are you trying to download and what is happening when you try?
