Oracle, I download your JDK by eating magic cookies

UPDATE 2014/07/18: Replacing gpw_e24 by oraclelicense, easier.

UPDATE 2013/05/26: As noted by frog end and Kip in comments, wget 1.12 (mainly on CentOS systems) is unable to handle SAN SSL certificates (Subject Alternative Name) and will fail on edelivery.oracle.com. Use --no-check-certificate to avoid this issue.

Today, I had to install the SunOracle JDK on some servers, so I visited the JDK download page to retrieve the direct download link for wget on each server:

$ wget http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/7u65-b17/jdk-7u65-linux-x64.tar.gz

After launching the command, the server redirects me to a 5K HTML file:

Location: http://download.oracle.com/errors/download-fail-1505220.html [following]

WAIT, WHAT? I can't download the file if I don't visit their download page to accept the OTN license.

Challenge accepted, I'm going to play with requests... What happens when I click on the archive link?

First request:

Request URL:http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/7u65-b17/jdk-7u65-linux-x64.tar.gz
Request Method:GET
Cookies: notice_preferences=2:-; s_cc=true; oraclelicense=accept-securebackup-cookie; s_nr=1405635054064; gpw_e24=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.oracle.com%2Ftechnetwork%2Fjava%2Fjavase%2Fdownloads%2Fjdk7-downloads-1880260.html; s_sq=%5B%5BB%5D%5D

Okay, trying to play with cookie values (I deleted the useless values):

$ wget --no-cookies --header "Cookie: oraclelicense=accept-securebackup-cookie;" http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/7u65-b17/jdk-7u65-linux-x64.tar.gz

Fuck Yea.

According to the OTN BCL document for Java SE:

BY SELECTING THE "ACCEPT LICENSE AGREEMENT" (OR THE EQUIVALENT) BUTTON AND/OR BY USING THE SOFTWARE YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ THE TERMS AND AGREE TO THEM.

Enjoy it!
