Sometimes you have to download Oracle JDK without FireFox or any other graphical browsers on Linux. I tried to download it with Lynx and w3m, but I couldn't.
I first thought that you can download it with a direct file link. But it seems like Oracle checks cookies and I couldn't. Then I thought I could get a cookie by download the file link page first, then I would be able to download it. But there's no cookies set when you download the link page.
After then, I read JavaScript within that link page. I found when you click the "accept" radio button, it surely put the cookie there.
So here's my little bash script using curl to download JDK.
#!/bin/bash # second and nano second T=$(date +%s%N) # Make it 13 digits cause JavaScript Date has only millisecond T=${T:0:13} P1="s_nr=${T};" P2="gpw_e24=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.oracle.com%2Ftechnetwork%2Fjava%2Fjavase%2Fdownloads%2Fjdk-6u32-downloads-1594644.html;" P3="s_sq=%5B%5BB%5D%5D" COOKIE="$P1 $P2 $P3" AGENT='Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.16) Gecko/20120421 Firefox/11.0' TARGET='http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/6u32-b05/jdk-6u32-linux-x64-rpm.bin' REFERER='http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk-6u32-downloads-1594644.html' curl -v -b "$COOKIE" --user-agent "$AGENT" --referer "$REFERER" -L -O "$TARGET"
