[Zope] WGET Error

I need to use wget to access a zope hosted URL in order to call a certain module for coreblog so that the e-mails going into moblog are read in properly. I can access the URL from a web browser just fine but when I use wget (and I did compile 1.9.1 from source with the --with-ssl and --with-socks options) I get a 503:Service Unavailable error msg. Any idea how I get this resolved? The command I am using to access the URL is: wget https://user:pass@secure.foo.com/zope/foo/receive
