Windows – Wget from HTTPS url using user/password -still getting 400 error

command-line-interfacehttpswgetwindows

I'm trying to run Wget for a certain HTTP url, also using http-user and http-password command line options (tried the –user and –password, same results).
Using the –no-check-certificate options as well
so basically running this line :

wget --no-check-certificate --http-user=user --http-password=password https://url.com

I'm getting this response :

Connecting to url.com|10.11.10.98|:443... connected.
WARNING: cannot verify url.com's certificate, issued by `/C=IL/ST=url.com':
  Self-signed certificate encountered.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 400 Bad Request
2012-01-18 15:13:53 ERROR 400: Bad Request.

Please advise

You're missing the option dashes for both --http-user and --http-password:

wget --server-response --no-check-certificate --http-user=user --http-password=password https://url.com

The fact that this appears to "look like" a URL to wget may be the reason it uses HTTP and not HTTPS for the real URL as well.
