  I have to note though that in order to use curl you have to enable the "follow redirects" option (-L) or else it won't work. Thanks for this post it was very helpful.

  mmh... seems again broken...:

    still works fine for me, are you sure you're using the correct url? disqus cut it off, but it starts with "http://www.oracle.com/technetw" which doesn't seem right

      ah, yes. sorry... that was a wrong variable setup as request...

      here my full download script for Debian Packaging... I use Debian package "make-jpkg" (slight modified to get no openjdk installed) to build the java package:

  Can confirm that you can download the latest Java 8 using:

  wget --no-cookies --no-check-certificate --header "Cookie: gpw_e24=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.oracle.com%2F; oraclelicense=accept-securebackup-cookie" "http://download.oracle.com/..." -O "jdk-8u5-linux-x64.rpm"

• 

  Chris 2014-04-21T08:31:45

  Has anyone else found the oracle download URL to be very unreliable? This makes it difficult to use Oracle JDK in automated devops scripts.

• 

  Yngve 2014-03-15T13:35:49

  I got it working today by replacing setting a different header (the gpw_e24 didn't work): --header "Cookie: oraclelicense=accept-securebackup-cookie"

  • 

    Ivan Dyedov 2014-03-15T15:23:58

    Thank you, I updated the command to include both cookies

• 

  O'Shaughnessy 2014-03-12T18:33:30

  The latest release of Java 7 is 7u51, so this URL worked for me:

  http://download.oracle.com/...

• 

  webofmars 2014-03-12T10:13:15

  seems it doesn't work anymore. now you HAVE to have an oracla account

  • 

    Ivan Dyedov 2014-03-12T18:29:24

    still works for me with wget

  Pazzo 2014-01-07T22:24:42

  For anyone who got their URL from the download page (http://www.oracle.com/techn...

  e.g. http://download.oracle.com/...

  You just need to chage s/otn/otn-pub/ to change it to the direct link.

  e.g. http://download.oracle.com/...

  Biju 2014-01-01T10:18:32

  Thank you man ... helped a lot

• 

  Khalil 2013-11-02T14:11:33

  what is difference in between " jre-7u45-windows-x64.tar.gz" and " jre-7u45-windows-x64.exe"

  • 

    Ivan Dyedov 2015-09-05T00:21:40

    I think the exe is an installer, while tar.gz just has the binaries in compressed format

  Richard Murray 2013-10-17T11:32:32

  Hi does anyone know how to do this in Groovy or Java? I've tried the following Groovy code but I get an EmptyInputStream returned.
  
def address = "http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/7u45-b18/jre-7u45-windows-x64.tar.gz"
def file = new FileOutputStream(address.tokenize("/")[-1])
def out = new BufferedOutputStream(file)
URL url = new URL(address);
HttpURLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
//proxy settings
System.setProperty("http.proxyHost", proxyHost);
System.setProperty("http.proxyPort", proxyPort);

conn.setFollowRedirects(true);
//conn.setRequestProperty("Cookie", "gpw_e24=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.oracle.com%2F");
conn.setRequestProperty("Cookie", "gpw_e24=http");
conn.setAllowUserInteraction(false);
conn.connect();

InputStream is = conn.getInputStream();
byte[] buffer = new byte[BUFFER_SIZE];
int numRead = 0;
while ((numRead = is.read(buffer)) != -1) {
out.write(buffer, 0, numRead);
}

out.close()
println "done"

    Richard Murray 2013-10-25T13:32:00

    I managed to get this working in a Groovy script as follows (thought I'd post if anyone is interested). It seems the Java API for HttpUrlConnection doesn't automatically follow redirects if the protocol changes (e.g. from http to https), so you need code to handle that. The example below isn't very elegant but works and should provide a starting point for anyone else trying this.

    
import java.net.HttpURLConnection;
import java.net.URLConnection;

Downloader downloader = new Downloader()
downloader.download("http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/7u45-b18/jre-7u45-windows-x64.tar.gz");

class Downloader {
def fileName;

def download(address) {
println "downloading from " + address
fileName = address.tokenize("/")[-1]
URL url = new URL(address);
HttpURLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
conn.setRequestProperty("Cookie", "gpw_e24=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.oracle.com%2F");
conn.setAllowUserInteraction(false);
//this won't handle re-directs from http to https we need to handle that ourselves
conn.setInstanceFollowRedirects(true);
conn.connect();
processResponse(conn);
}

def processResponse(HttpURLConnection conn) {
int status = conn.getResponseCode();
println("Response Code = " + status);
if (status == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK) {
readInputStream(conn);
} else {
if (status == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_MOVED_TEMP || status == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_MOVED_PERM || status == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_SEE_OTHER) {
handleRedirect(conn);
}
}
}

def handleRedirect(HttpURLConnection conn) {
println "handling redirect"
String newUrl = conn.getHeaderField("Location");
println "new URL is " + newUrl;
// open the new connnection again
conn = (HttpURLConnection) new URL(newUrl).openConnection();
conn.setRequestProperty("Cookie", "gpw_e24=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.oracle.com%2F");
processResponse(conn);
}

def readInputStream(HttpURLConnection conn ) {
def out = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(fileName));
long fileSize = Long.parseLong(conn.getHeaderField("Content-Length"));
InputStream is = conn.getInputStream();

try {
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024 * 10];
int numRead = 0;
long processedBytes = 0;
while ((numRead = is.read(buffer)) != -1) {
out.write(buffer, 0, numRead);
processedBytes += numRead;
println "processed ${processedBytes} bytes of ${fileSize}"
}
} finally {
out.close()
is.close();
println "done"
}
}
}

  Gabriela 2013-03-25T13:01:50

  Hello, I am trying to install the JDK for "winfows x86". After choosing my version, this site opens: "http://download.oracle.com/..." (after accepting the license.) - I did not understand very well how to do to use that "cookie".

  • 

    Ivan Dyedov 2013-03-27T03:16:45

    just go to http://www.oracle.com/techn... and install from there

• 

  Jamie 2013-03-09T00:41:19

  I'm using this script to rename the file just to the filename, wget wget adds a big string on the end:

  if [ -n "$1" ]; then
   BASENAME=$(basename "$1")
   wget --no-cookies --header "Cookie: gpw_e24=http" -O $BASENAME $1
  fi
  

  If this page is not up to date, you can use tcpdump to watch for HTTP GETs then start a download from java.com yourself, you'll get the URL to feed to the script. Or you can just Google search for "/otn-pub/java/jdk/" in quotes, plus 7uXX or whatever update you're looking for, the URLs are usually out there and easily found.

  I just found this page and successfully downloaded Oracle Java, just a second before realizing that I don't need Oracle Java at all. If Oracle doesn't want you to install their Java, you should use OpenJDK instead - it has packages for every decent Linux distribution... No hassle, it just works,...

  • 

    pessimism 2013-08-22T13:19:55

    You are wrong. Android will not build with OpenJDK.

  http://www.webupd8.org/2012...

  NOTE:

  The WebUpd8 Oracle Java repository doesn’t host any Java files, because that’s not allowed by the new Oracle Java license. Instead, the package uses a script which downloads and installs Oracle Java 6.

  As a reminder, the Oracle Java 7 PPA repository does not host any Java files but only an installer that automatically downloads and installs Oracle Java 7, like the flashplugin-installer package for instance.

  --no--cookies and http://www.oracle are unecessary. All that is needed is the presence of gpw_e24 cookie. This works:

  Thanks, this really helped a lot when administering a remote server which really doesn't have the bandwidth for using an X11 web browser. I otherwise would have had to download to my local system, and secure copy it to the server. And, given my current internet connection, would have been excruciatingly sloooow.

  Hi Ivan,

  Thanks a lot for you work, saved me a lot time.

  I've written a script that tries various builds as they don't provide the build number on the site, this way you only have to work out the update version. Hopefully it's of use to others..

  #!/bin/bash
  #http://ivan-site.com/2012/05/download-oracle-java-jre-jdk-using-a-script/
  #visit http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html and determine latest update
  update=7
  version=7
  for bitness in x64 i586; do
      #Overwrite with the latest build
      for build in 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20;do
          wget --no-cookies --header "Cookie: gpw_e24=http" "http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/${version}u${update}-b${build}/jdk-${version}u${update}-linux-${bitness}.tar.gz"
          if [[ $bitness == 'i586' ]];then
              ourbitness="i386"
          else
              ourbitness="x86_64"
