[Win Treese]

Michal,

I’m glad you found the old post. Trying to fix this in a clean way is a real challenge, so I’m happy you have something working now.

Best,

Win

I installed it with brew install gnutls-cli, and it just works (except for Marmalade). I will tinker with this a bit more, but it is okay for me now.
