Oracle JVM download using curl/wget

# Downloading Oracle JVM without browser

Oracle requires you to accept its licence agreement before downloading its JVM.
It's a pain for those of us who do automation, native packages, Jenkins JVM deployment on slave...

I used Firefox and Firebug to sniff network exchanges.

You should be able to download Oracle JVMs from anywhere now.
Enjoy

Thanks to Kevin Decherf blog (http://blog.kdecherf.com/2012/04/12/oracle-i-download-your-jdk-by-eating-magic-cookies/), where I found to avoid injecting cookies but use a specific header

Thanks a ton @ivajloip

For anyone reading this, the suggestion from @ivajloip is the best and simplest solution. More specifically, the whole magic is in the flag -b "oraclelicense=a". Just pass that to any oracle JDK you want to download and that's it, no need for that big cookie string using --header or anything like that

Thanks @ivajloip. An example would be
curl -L -b "oraclelicense=a" http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/8u131-b11/d54c1d3a095b4ff2b6607d096fa80163/jdk-8u131-linux-x64.tar.gz -O

Here's a script for downloading and setting up java:

@ivajloip Your tip works like a charm. I'm able to download JDKs automatically without issue. 👍 :-D

@ivajloip How about downloading JDKs from archive page? I want to download JDK1.8_161

Unfortunatly this method is only possible for otn-pub downloads.
