If you are using wget 1.11 against Jenkins version 1.586 and above with the JENKINS-25169 fix, you might need to use the following options:
wget –auth-no-challenge –http-user=user –http-password=apiToken –secure-protocol=TLSv1 http://jenkins.yourcompany.com/job/your_job/build?token=TOKEN

If you are using wget 1.11, you might need to use the following options:
wget –auth-no-challenge –http-user=user –http-password=apiToken http://jenkins.yourcompany.com/job/your_job/build?token=TOKEN

With wget 1.10.x the following is enough (but will not work with 1.11.x) :
wget http://user:apiToken@jenkins.yourcompany.com/job/your_job/build?token=TOKEN

If you are a Windows User!
