>Description:
Doing post-install for netbsd as root; following official netbsd documentation at https://www.netbsd.org/docs/pkgsrc/using.html

pkg_add pkgin
pkg_add: Can't process https://cdn.NetBSD.org:443/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/macppc/9.3/All/pkgin*: Unknown HTTP error

Chatted to user jakllsch on irc; suggested using ftp or http (NOT https)

I changed PKG_PATH to http instead of https and the problem resolved.

pkg_add pkgin
pkg_add: Can't process https://cdn.NetBSD.org:443/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/macppc/9.3/All/pkgin*: Unknown HTTP error
>Fix:
Change PKG_PATH from https to http
