 @1280dda4 You actually don't need to do wget first.

 @c8a24274 Trying to open that link in Firefox leads to a delay of several seconds, then a 500 error.

Oh look!  Opening it in (incognito) Chrome works almost instantly!!

Oh how I hate the modern web ...

But thanks for the tips ... I may have found a different solution.

More in a while.

 @1280dda4 It worked for me immediately on Firefox, which is the only browser I use, except in the above circumstance. It ust have been a glitch.

 @ff798c6f Indeed, it opens for me now.

Maybe I'm just overly suspicious.  I've met things like this before.  Many times.

I've become a grumpy, gnarly, suspicious old grey-beard.
