In that thread I clearly asked the person to contact the GnuTLS team to see if
they could help out as it seems to me like the problem migth exist in there.

My advice was obviously mostly ignored. At least the thread died at that
point. A common problem with people asking for help is that they never follow
through and actually present the solution in the end.

Left for the world is then only questions and problem statements.

Your GnuTLS version is also highly relevant.

What if you use the regular curl command tool built with the same GnuTLS, does
that work against the same site?

As you didn't find it on curl.haxx.se and you certainly did not find anyone
with any decent amount of libcurl knowledge saying something like that, it has
very little to no value at all for both you and us.

Perhaps, yes. But as we don't know what the problem is yet we can't really
tell.

Of course, if you rebuild with another SSL library you will no longer suffer
from problems with GnuTLS... It doesn't make us actually find or fix the
problem though.
