No, no such things either.

OK, I must admit this is on Linux; I omitted that to avoid too quick "we don't support that replies" O:-)
But my base build is pretty much stock and apart from this example (git) which apparently bit some users on OS X too I have no issues at all with fetching (or indeed most other functions).

Now that's out:

%> /usr/bin/curl --version
curl 7.35.0 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.35.0 OpenSSL/1.0.1f zlib/1.2.8 libidn/1.28 librtmp/2.3
Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher http https imap imaps ldap ldaps pop3 pop3s rtmp rtsp smtp smtps telnet tftp

%> /opt/local/bin/curl --version
curl 7.45.0 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.45.0 OpenSSL/1.0.2j zlib/1.2.8

My system gnutls is kind of old though:
%> /usr/bin/gnutls-cli -version
/usr/bin/gnutls-cli (GnuTLS) 2.12.23
Packaged by Debian (2.12.23-12ubuntu2.5)

but from what I understand gnutls itself isn't the likely culprit?

I may investigate the workaround I proposed on trac, falling back to using an external curl command.
