Problem

An error like the following is thrown when wget is used to download JIRA.

ERROR: certificate common name `s1.wpc.edgecastcdn.net' doesn't match requested host name `downloads.atlassian.com'.
To connect to downloads.atlassian.com insecurely, use `--no-check-certificate'.
Unable to establish SSL connection

Diagnosis

Some versions of wget such as 1.12-2.fc13 do not correctly check the Server Alternate Name (SAN) property in the SSL certificate. More information can be found in the following bug report.
