Wget link fails to download Splunk ("Unable to establish SSL connection")

When I attempt to download Splunk on a Centos system using the wget link that Splunk.cim provides but this doesn't work and instead provides the following error:

OpenSSL: error:14077410:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert handshake failure
Unable to establish SSL connection.

Anyone know of a workaround?

I have been using curl instead successfully.

Here is an example:

curl 'https://www.splunk.com/bin/splunk/DownloadActivityServlet?architecture=x86_64&platform=linux&version=7.0.0&product=splunk&filename=splunk-7.0.0-c8a78efdd40f-linux-2.6-x86_64.rpm&wget=true' -k -v -L -o splunk.rpm
