changes in NONMEM repo

[RichardHooijmaijers]

Hi @billdenney

It seems that something is changed in the NONMEM repository. Downloading the NONMEM zip does not work as expected anymore, e.g. something like this:
wget -nv --no-check-certificate "https://nonmem.iconplc.com/nonmem741/NONMEM7.4.1.zip"
will now issue an error "Username/Password Authentication Failed.". I tried various options like --ask-password or --password but without success. Did you experience problems and have a possible solution?

Icon appears to have implemented a new web server which yields an HTTP 401 error from wget but works from a web browser. A workaround is to download it manually and serve the file from a local location, and I'll ask Bob if he knows what has changed and a way to work around it.

The updates to the website make the --auth-no-challenge flag for wget is required. I'll add it now, and hopefully it'll work.

I just fixed it in 5037a5c

Hi @billdenney Thank you for the quick action! I just tried it and it seemed to work, but only for a NONMEM version I downloaded before. For instance if I try it with version 7.4.2 I get "Username/Password Authentication Failed." while for a version I downloaded manually before it works? For me it's no problem to manually download the zip file and add it to the installation directory, not sure if this would work for everybody.

Thanks for the update. It tends to work for me on the second attempt, but I don't know how reliable that is. I've updated the instructions in the README.md file to suggest manual download.
