My sense is that if you have the Mozilla certificates installed properly
from pkgsrc, it should work.

Just out of curiosity, does

lynx https://github.com/NetBSD/pkgsrc

work? (Check the document's URL with the key 'G'.) If this works, then
by all signs, you have the certificates installed properly.

Also, does

wget -c https://github.com/NetBSD/pkgsrc/archive/trunk.zip

work?
