I've just tested the package from -proposed and it fixed a problem with a GitHub https download for me.
It was failing before with SSL connection establishment error and after finding a hint for lack of SNI support in a standard 12.04's wget version by googling, I've found this very bug record and I'm glad to confirm it works [for me]. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to wget in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1580700 Title: wget in 12.04 does not support SNI Status in wget package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in wget source package in Precise: Fix Committed Bug description: [Impact] wget in Ubuntu 12.04 doesn't have support for TLS Server Name Indication, which makes it incompatible with certain sites, includes sites that use the Let's Encrypt Authority. The updated package fixes the issue with a backported patch from wget 1.14. [Test Case] 1- wget https://www.x.org 2- Connection should succeed, instead of getting an error (ERROR: no certificate subject alternative name matches) [Regression Potential] Commit is simple. If broken, could possibly break SSL support in wget. Original report: Let's Encrypt Authority should be added to CA-certificates. https://www.X.org is now using a cert from this CA, wget fails when connecting to X.org.
