Only indirectly related, but I had similar experiences accessing https things. Gnutls-cli failed in my case, my best bet was compiled-in TLS support. So if you are compiling your Emacs yourself anyway, I'd strongly recommend using that: resorting to an external program (openssl or gnutls-bin) makes some things difficult for the application.
