The problem is that oracle prevents direct download of the .bin file. The download page now redirects to http://download.oracle.com/errors/download-fail-1505220.html because of a missing cookie. Oracle is forcing users to accept the EULA.

Hi, while this isn't solved I did the following:

1. Downloaded the jdk-6u31-linux-i586.bin and jdk-6u31-linux-x64.bin from Oracle.
2. Moved these two files to /var/local/oab/pkg/
3. At line 295 of the script oab-java6.sh:
   wget -c "${DOWNLOAD_URL}" -O /var/local/oab/pkg/${JAVA_BIN} >> "$log" 2>&1 &
   I just commented this line and executed the script.

Obviously its not the best solution. But solves the problem if you can't wait the good solution...

For the last few days people are reporting this exact problem on my project due to a message that suggests them to do so.
I don't believe any automated download of Java packages will work as Oracle really doesn't like it. I'd recommend at least adding checksum validation to be sure the files were downloaded successfully.

It seems that it's possible to download *.bin files via "http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp?locale=en" directly without cookies or javascript. Unfortunately, the URLs do not make any sense so one needs to parse the HTML to locate the correct label and then proceed to fetch the file.

For example, link "Linux (self-extracting file)" points to "http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=59621" which will emit the correct contents for jre-6u31-linux-i586.bin (or at least that binary is self-extracing sh script). It might be doable to search for

<a title=" Download Java software for Linux (self-extracting file)" href="(.*?)"

and

<a title=" Download Java software for Linux x64" href="(.*?)"

to extract download URLs from the URL "http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp?locale=en".

+1 for this as well

I spent a bit of time on the Oracle site last night and looked at the problem.

You can grab the file like so:

curl -OL -b "oraclelicensejdk-6u31-oth-JPR=accept-securebackup-cookie;gpw_e24=http://edelivery.oracle.com" 'http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/6u31-b04/jdk-6u31-linux-x64.bin'

As of version 26, this is happening again.
