[Oinkmaster-users] oinkmaster.pl download error

[Alejandro C. O. <ac...@gm...>]

Dear all, I've Oinkmaster 2.0 minstalled in my Windows machine.

I've change the URL path to download the Snort rules, according to the
Snort.org site definition.

I run the script from a command shell (Windows), in the way:

c:\oinkmaster-2.0\oinkmaster.pl -C c:\oinkmaster-2.0\oinkmaster.conf
-o "c:\snort\rules"

But some days ago I got the following error:

oinkmaster.pl: Error: could not download from
http://www.snort.org/pub-bin/oinkmaster.cgi
/*oinkcode*/snortrules-snapshot-2853.tar.gz:
500 Can't connect to s3.amazonaws.com:443 (Bad hostname 's3.amazonaws.com')

I put my proxy settings in the Windows variables list, so the
oinkmaster can go through the proxy.

And when I download from my browser from the same URL with the oinkcode
http://www.snort.org/pub-bin/oinkmaster.cgi/****/snortrules-snapshot-2853.tar.gz,
I can download the file successfully.

So please what's the problem with oinkmaster.pl ???

Thanks a lot,
