When performing a wget to download Jira or Confluence Server recently I've been getting a 426 Upgrade Required error response. There's not much in the response that tells me how to modify the request, so I'm not sure how to download directly to a server anymore. (Downloading through the browser still works fine.)

e.g.

wget https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/downloads/binary/atlassian-confluence-6.13.8.tar.gz

Does anybody know how to modify the command to allow it to work or at least can explain the limitation? Does everyone get this response?

I suspect it's related to TLS versions. I can only connect with TLS1.2 and so perhaps the version of wget you/I'm using doesn't support it.

Anyway, I tried with curl and that downloaded fine e.g.

curl -L -O https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/downloads/binary/atlassian-jira-software-8.4.1-x64.bin

Same error for me today.  I've downloaded on a Windows machine via the website and copied over to my Linux server as a workaround!
