Every time I try to use either wget or cURL to connect it keeps on saying failed: Resource temporarily unavailable.
for wget and curl: (7) Failed to connect to footpatrol.com port 443: Timed out
for cURL. This is in spite the fact that I can visit footpatrol.com on my web browser and it loads perfectly fine. What can I do to access footpatrol.com via my terminal?

This is one weird website.
At first I used Firefox, and found that the website
can only be accessed via http://www.footpatrol.com/, not via https
,
which then redirects to https://www.footpatrol.com/, and then the
website works.
However, it then sets up cookies which block any future access via https
or http
. You have to delete these cookies to again access to it once,
and once only, via http://www.footpatrol.com/.
In all other cases I got the error of "Access Denied".
Then I used Chrome, and had no difficulties whatsoever to access https://www.footpatrol.com/.
My conclusion is that this website has very strange restrictions on access,
and returns strange error codes whenever these restrictions are violated.
Evidently wget
is not acceptable either.
Try Chrome, and if it works for you, you may try to duplicate the entire request by Chrome, including all HTTP headers, to maybe make this work.
