data2: wget cannot verify knb.ecoinformatics.org's certificate but curl does

When attempting to retrieve the bin tarball from the knb.ecoinformatics.org/software/dist repository on data2.ess-dive.lbl.gov, wget fails with the following command in build.sh:

 # Get the metacat distribution
  if [ ! -f  "$DIR/${ARCHIVE}" ];
  then
      wget http://knb.ecoinformatics.org/software/dist/${ARCHIVE} -O $DIR/${ARCHIVE}

  fi

This results in this output:

To connect to knb.ecoinformatics.org insecurely, use `--no-check-certificate'.

However, the LE cert for knb has not expired and curl validates the cert properly:

It may be that the root certificate that wget uses is outdated, so this may need to be updated, or we change the command to use curl instead.

To replicate, run the essdive-appstack build_failover.sh script and it should fail when attempting to retrieve the 2.16.2 tarball.
