Using wget to download via edelivery.oracle.com

Downloading heavy installation DVDs and/or Oracle VM templates has always been time consuming task. For various license and export control reasons, Oracle Software Delivery Cloud downloads are only available via Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)

I found wget very useful to download by scripting command line instructions and to run it in the background.

It doesn't seem difficult since it started working. I tried a lot with different browsers like chrome, IE on Windows etc but finally It worked with Firefox on Linux.

Login to edelivery.oracle.com and while the browser session is active export cookies. You need to install and enable add-on available at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/export-cookies



[root@msukovs01 ~]# cd /stage/EBS12.2.2/
[root@msukovs01 EBS12.2.2]# pwd
/stage/EBS12.2.2
[root@msukovs01 EBS12.2.2]# ls -1
cookies.txt
[root@msukovs01 EBS12.2.2]# 

Next, get the URL's for downloads e.g. I downloaded 12.2. OVM template

Use wget to download via command line. Note '\' is added before each '&' in the URL, without '\' it did not work. This might sound stupid, but took a complete day for me to realise :)
