wget downloading tar.gz file as html?
19,660
Solution 1
Check the file size. You're probably actually getting back HTML. Oracle does not give you the jdk download unless you check the checkbox accepting their terms. (If you look at the reponse headers, you're probably getting back Content: text/html)
You can accept the terms by providing the following header:
--no-cookies --header "Cookie: oraclelicense=accept-securebackup-cookie"
Solution 2
Look into the file using less and you'll find this:
<html>
<head>
<title>Unauthorized Request</title>

I use the command
wget http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/7u67-b01/jdk-7u67-linux-x64.tar.gzThe file gets downloaded but when I try to untar that file I get this
tar -zxvf jdk-7u67-linux-x64.tar.gz gzip: stdin: not in gzip format tar: Child returned status 1 tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting nowSo I use the file command to check on the file and I get this
