Specifying @samp{PFS} enforces the use of the so-called Perfect Forward
Security cipher suites. In short, PFS adds security by creating a one-time
key for each SSL connection. It has a bit more CPU impact on client and server.
We use known to be secure ciphers (e.g. no MD4) and the TLS protocol.
We use known to be secure ciphers (e.g. no MD4) and the TLS protocol. This mode
also explicitly excludes non-PFS key exchange methods, such as RSA.
@item --https-only
When in recursive mode, only HTTPS links are followed.
@item --ciphers
Set the cipher list string. Typically this string sets the
cipher suites and other SSL/TLS options that the user wish should be used, in a
set order of preference (GnuTLS calls it 'priority string'). This string
will be fed verbatim to the SSL/TLS engine (OpenSSL or GnuTLS) and hence
its format and syntax is dependant on that. Wget will not process or manipulate it
in any way. Refer to the OpenSSL or GnuTLS documentation for more information.
@cindex SSL certificate, check
@item --no-check-certificate
Don't check the server certificate against the available certificate
