It appears they've enabled mandatory SSL on this server, which they weren't
doing before.
They've forgotten to add the MacPorts hostnames to the SSL certificate,
so we can't connect. I've asked them to add those hostnames.
When I use their hostname I'm able to connect using /usr/bin/curl on OS
X 10.11 and later but not 10.10 and earlier. This is probably related to
which encryption algorithms they've decided to support. Which macOS
version were you using?
I normally use 10.9 (though I have many other versions for testing). That
sometimes has issues as discussed in:
https://trac.macports.org/ticket/51516
But I thought the idea was that MacPorts' own mirrors should be configured
to be compatible with all OS versions that it supports, which is why the
compatibility issue usually only arises in connection with port
development (before the disfiles have been mirrored).
