FWIW, here are the command args I use with wget (watch linewrap):

/usr/local/bin/wget --no-check-certificate --config=/etc/wgetrc -O-
--content-on-error -o /dev/null

but I prefer to use httpie and only resort to wget or curl if I need to send
client certificates (I need this often, and httpie doesn't yet support them
in a stable release).
