When trying to use https when fetching a tarball:

$ wget https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo/texinfo-6.1.92.tar.xz
--2016-09-09 09:01:22--

GnuTLS: A TLS warning alert has been received.
GnuTLS: received alert [112]: The server name sent was not recognized
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 Not Found
2016-09-09 09:01:23 ERROR 404: Not Found.


Server name not recognized?  Is that a wget bug, or something at gnu?

When using http instead, things work fine:

$ wget http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo/texinfo-6.1.92.tar.xz
