It won't work. Oracle will redirect to download-failed.html and this page is what actually you will download.

Easiest way to download every older version of Java for every OS:
go to https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/archive/ scroll down a bit and select your desired version and click on its download link. Then accept the agreements, wait for the grey download button to become green, then click on it. On the login page that will most likely pop up at this point, log in with any account details from https://bugmenot.com/view/oracle.com
Enjoy your download!

Just extending this example for others so you can always just download the latest jdk8 in one script. This if you need a version other than x64 tar gz you will have to update it.

#!/bin/bash -x

# Find Latest version on Oracle
LATEST_PAGE=https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/javase8u211-later-archive-downloads.html

# Get file list
wget $LATEST_PAGE

LATEST_VERSION=`grep 'Java SE Development Kit 8' javase8u211-later-archive-downloads.html | head -1 | sed 's/.*\(8u.*\)<.*/\1/'`
LATEST_PATCH=`echo $LATEST_VERSION | sed 's/8u//g'`
LATEST_URL=`grep data-file= javase8u211-later-archive-downloads.html | grep -E "jdk-$LATEST_VERSION-linux-x64.tar.gz" | sed "s/.*data-file='\(.*\)'/\1/"`
rm javase8u211-later-archive-downloads.html

echo "Downloading....."

FILE=jdk-${LATEST_VERSION}-linux-x64.tar.gz
VERSION=`echo $LATEST_URL | awk -F\/ '{print $7}' | sed 's/8u//g'`
HASH=`echo $LATEST_URL | awk -F\/ '{print $8}'`
URL="https://javadl.oracle.com/webapps/download/GetFile/1.8.0_$VERSION/$HASH/linux-i586/$FILE"
wget --no-cookies --no-check-certificate --header "Cookie: oraclelicense=accept-securebackup-cookie" $URL

Not the official Oracle Java, but you can install openjdk-8-* on Linux to get a full Java 8.

@sampipe Your script worked wonderfully. I tried to tweak for jdk 11 but lack necessary skills to make it work right. Some of the code I can't wrap my head around. Have you by chance tried it for jdk 11?

Sorry I don't have some at hand..it should be simple enough to work out but I'm off work for a week so couldn't have a look for prob near 10 days..
