That's one way to do it. If a user sets up their certifications properly with their system, then wget won't complain. Example for BLFS wget and CA certs: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/postlfs/cacerts.html wgetrc configuration should have a location for the certs: ca-directory=/etc/ssl/certs For host OS's which don't have any of the above or aren't updated, the user may want to do that, otherwise the --no-check-certificates option may be required. Refer to http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-wget/2013-12/msg00012.html for a discussion about this specific issue.
