Description:
On the page "https://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-apt-repo-quick-guide/en/#apt-repo-setup" it says:

"a) Go to the download page for the MySQL APT repository at https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/repo/apt/."

Doing so takes you to a nice little page with a nice little button you can click on that downloads the file. 

Unfortunately, if you don't have a GUI in which to click the button, this isn't much use. Trying to download the file direct (e.g. using wget) from the URL above doesn't work and fails with a 404 error:

wget https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/repo/apt/mysql-apt-config_0.8.22-1_all.deb

As this is a Linux oriented page, I feel it would be useful to provide a URL that can be used to download the file directly.

How to repeat:
try to download the file directly using just the information given on the page.

Suggested fix:
Supply a URL in the documentation that can be used to download the file directly.

Hi Mr. t,

Thank you for your bug report.

We have used the URL that you provided with three different browsers and they all worked just fine and the file got downloaded.

This page was designed for use with the browser and not for `wget` command and its content will not change.

Can't repeat.
