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:

This is most probably the sign of a redirect (see below)

This might be a good check.

There is: it's option -L (or --location). Additionally, you can set the
maximum number of redirects to follow with --max-redirs
