How to Download Oracle Patches From Oracle Support By Using WGET or CURL

1) Set up global variables :

export MOS_USER=testuser@domain.com
export MOS_PASSWORD="Password"

export PROXYUSER="testuser"
export PROXYPASSWD="Password123"
export USERAGENT="Mozilla/5.0"
export use_proxy=on
export http_proxy="http://proxy.domain.com:80/"
export https_proxy="https://proxy.domain.com:80/"
export COOK=$HOME/$.cookie

2) The following command to authenticate uses HTTP/HTTPS:

$wget --proxy-user=${PROXYUSER} --proxy-password=${PROXYPASSWD} 
--http-user=${MOS_USER} --http-password=${MOS_PASSWORD} 
--save-cookies=$COOK --keep-session-cookies --no-check-certificate 
"https://updates.oracle.com/Orion/Services/download" 
-no-verbose
2018-02-26 14:35:17 URL:https://updates.oracle.com/Orion/Services/download 
[118] -> "download.1" [1]

3) Get all supported platforms and language codes:

a) Output the query result into a temp file:

$wget --proxy-user=${PROXYUSER} --proxy-password=${PROXYPASSWD} 
--no-check-certificate --load-cookies=$COOK 
"https://updates.oracle.com/Orion/SavedSearches/switch_to_simple" 
-O $HOME/output.tmp -q

$ ls -l $HOME/output.tmp
-rw-r----- 1 testuser users 4528477 Feb 26 14:41 /home/testuser/output.tmp

b) Extract the Platform and Language Code, here we are only interested in platform “226P<—>Linux x86-64″ with default English language:

$ grep -A200 "<select name=plat_lang"  /home/testuser/output.tmp |
 grep "^<option"|awk -F "[\">]" '{print $2 "<--->" $4}' |
 |grep -v "<--->selected"

4) Get URLs of patch 6880880 for Linux X86-64 platform.

$wget --proxy-user=${PROXYUSER} --proxy-password=${PROXYPASSWD} 
--no-check-certificate --load-cookies=$COOK 
"https://updates.oracle.com/Orion/SimpleSearch/process_form?search_type
=patch&patch_number=6880880&plat_lang=226P" -O $HOME/output1.tmp -q

$ ls -ltr $HOME/output1.tmp
