Re: [IBMiOSS] Unable to establish SSL connection. received when using wget

Hi Bryan

Thanks for your reply. I do appreciate the links, they confirm that I've 
been looking in the right places for Kafka.

The steps I followed were those in the Kafka section at 
ibm-oss-docs.readthedocs.io, which is one of the links in the resources 
page at github. Those resources, however, don't deal with the error I 
get when using wget - this is that error -

-bash-5.2$ wgethttps://downloads.apache.org/kafka/4.0.0/kafka_2.13-4.00.tgz
