Under Jessie, wget produces an SSL error when it tries to log in to the website. There is an open bug report #785016, to which I added a comment, but so far no response has come from the developers. Needing to get this script fully working, I am attempting to use curl for the purpose, but I'm not having any luck there, either. I don't get the error, but I don't get the correct web page, either. These are the two lines using wget:

Well, for starters, try using the URL
https://mytotalconnectcomfort.com/portal/ (note trailing slash) as
suggested by the error message. Alternatively, there might also be a
curl option to automatically follow redirects.
