Termux-app: wget doesn't support ssl?

[ghost]

When trying to wget anything that uses https, it reports that it is not an http or ftp url.

Example: wget "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/oh-my-zsh.sh"

The wget program that is pre-installed with Termux is a lightweight version from busybox - to install the fully featured GNU wget version supporting https and more options run:

packages install wget

I have installed it with packages but for some reason it still points to the BusyBox version

@v0idst4r Try running hash -r before running wget again. This clears the bash path cache so that new executables are found.

@luntik2012 have read this https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/Software article?

@luntik2012 If you mean 'packages' mentioned in https://github.com/termux/termux-app/issues/314#issuecomment-300595687, then it is a wrapper for 'apt' package manager. It was renamed to 'pkg' in https://github.com/termux/termux-packages/commit/fc0718410cb9e63ddeba8de3fcd9e6531630c7fa.

PS. I suggest you to read comments carefully.

@sdrausty @xeffyr thank you

@xeffyr > It was renamed to 'pkg'

echo 'Usage: packages command [arguments]'

Changed to:

echo 'Usage: pkg command [arguments]'

Maybe this change should be added as a historical note at https://wiki.termux.com the wiki?

@luntik2012 you are welcome.
