Wget is not compiled with HTTPS; a manual install of entware's wget-ssl does not resolve

[chrisdonlan]

This is an issue I am running into following the README. I have successfully installed opkg and am hitting the entware server over http successfully.

# installing wget-ssl manually over http works
 wget http://bin.entware.net/armv7sf-k3.2/wget-ssl_1.21.3-1_armv7-3.2.ipk
# arrives on drive

# installs and assures that everything is current
opkg install wget-ssl_1.21.3-1_armv7-3.2.ipk

Yet nothing will download over https. This means that tasks like opkg update fail:

reMarkable: ~/ opkg update
Downloading https://bin.entware.net/armv7sf-k3.2/Packages.gz
*** Failed to download the package list from https://bin.entware.net/armv7sf-k3.2/Packages.gz

Collected errors:
 * opkg_download: Failed to download https://bin.entware.net/armv7sf-k3.2/Packages.gz, wget returned 1.

When manually fetching files over https with wget, the error has more information:

reMarkable: ~/ wget  https://bin.entware.net/armv7sf-k3.2/Packages.gz
https://bin.entware.net/armv7sf-k3.2/Packages.gz: HTTPS support not compiled in.

However both wget-nossl and wget-ssl are installed and at the most current available version.

I'll post what I figure out here.

So this is an issue with the install.sh script. wget-nossl is the default wget. Instead, wget-ssl needs to be the default wget.

I seem to have the same issue with a fresh install today.

opkg version d038e5b6d155784575f62a66a8bb7e874173e92e (2022-02-24)

GNU Wget 1.21.3 built on linux-gnu.

Just add
export PATH=/opt/bin:$PATH
