Issue
Like said in the title, i'm trying to download the jdk installer in a batch file using the following command :
wget --verbose --show-progress --referer="https://download.oracle.com" --no-cookies --no-check-certificate --header "Cookie: oraclelicense=accept-securebackup-cookie" "https://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/15.0.1%2B9/51f4f36ad4ef43e39d0dfdbaf6549e32/jdk-15.0.1_windows-x64_bin.exe"
I get this error from the batch file:

BUT
When I use this command line directly in the CLI (changing the CD where the wget.exe file resides), it downloads the installer properly, like the following :

I really need to use this command a script.
If anyone knew what could have gone wrong between the batch file and the CLI, I'd be really thankful for the help.
Solution
Compare the URLs from your output.
The CLI URL contains a percentage sign %2B as part of a URL-encoded letter. But the batch script output is missing this percentage sign, therefore leading to a wrong URL.
- CLI output
15.0.1%2B9 - Batch output
15.0.1B9
Since batch uses the percentage sign % to identify variables you have to escape it, if you want to use it literally.
Therefore, try using two percentage signs in your batch script %%. This should lead to a (correct) single % in your URL.
