wget fails with our private repos

[Srinivasan_ Usha]

Hello,
We have set up private repos for our company. I am running some scripts that use wget to validate an http link before cloning and the wget fails. Can someone tell me how I can enable wget for my private repo?  I could not find anything in Settings that seemed relevant. Thanks.

If I use the same exact URL with git clone, it works fine, so I know there is nothing wrong with the URL.

Seems like this is a bitbucket question

Private repos must be cloned with the git clone option

To test the connection use curl --> and then API of provider's documentation

Thanks,

No it is not a bitbake question. 
wget https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc.git but ours at
https://github.com/cornelis/<repo>.git does not.  And, we need the latter to work. Is it because our how our repo is hosted?

The steps to clone used are:
wget <https>
git clone <https>

This cannot be changed and I need this to work with our repos.

Hi @Srinivasan_ Usha ,

you should "curl" and not "wget" in order to retrieve information from confluence/bitbucket.

Hope this helps,

Unfortunately, I am using bitbake/poky to build and I cannot change that.  The wget on github.com/openbmc repos do not fail which is why I'm wondering if there is some setting that needs to be changes.
