   I linked to the up-to-date version of GetComponents.

   When I try to follow the instructions, I get the following error:

   MacBook:testcactus ian$ wget https://github.com/gridaphobe/CRL/raw/master/GetComponents --2011-03-23 15:39:51-- https://github.com/gridaphobe/CRL/raw/master/GetComponents Resolving github.com... 207.97.227.239 Connecting to github.com|207.97.227.239|:443... connected. ERROR: certificate common name `*.github.com' doesn't match requested host name `github.com'. To connect to github.com insecurely, use `--no-check-certificate'.

   If I use the suggested option, it works, and I can download Cactus from a thornlist, but I don't think we should suggest this. Can we figure out what the problem with the certificate is?

   <http://support.github.com/discussions/site/2507-error-certificate-common-name-githubcom-doesnt-match-requested-host-name-githubcom>:

   "This is actually a wget bug which has been reported and fixed but not released: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=409938

   You can bypass the bug by using the flag that the error message gives you."

   Rather than suggesting to pass the --no-check-certificate flag, I could have the user right-click the GetComponents link in order to save the file (removing the .txt extension).

   Either that (which browser adds a .txt - isn't that kind of ancient?), or even better, suggest curl instead of wget (but it might be good to mention this problem with wget):

   curl -O https://github.com/gridaphobe/CRL/raw/master/GetComponents

   curl is maybe nicer since you an do that on a cluster (saves one scp call) and we can use the same command in the new users tutorial where we would presumably would like to keeps things as simple as possible for new users.

   The line has been updated to use curl.
