Seems your SSL is totally broken. Did you change OpenSSL recently or other SSL libraries? And could you try with curl? See this FAQ entry for more information.

[gilles-c]

Maybe my OpenSSL is too old!
After using wget as third in my previous post, /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl file was empty, nothing in it ! So I thought I must go again to 2016.04.24. So I have already used curl whithout -k options first :

su-4.3# curl https://yt-dl.org/downloads/2016.04.24/youtube-dl -o /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl

curl: (60) SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details:
error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed
More details here: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html

curl performs SSL certificate verification by default, using a "bundle"
 of Certificate Authority (CA) public keys (CA certs). The default
 bundle is named curl-ca-bundle.crt; you can specify an alternate file
 using the --cacert option.
If this HTTPS server uses a certificate signed by a CA represented in
 the bundle, the certificate verification probably failed due to a
 problem with the certificate (it might be expired, or the name might
 not match the domain name in the URL).
If you'd like to turn off curl's verification of the certificate, use
 the -k (or --insecure) option.

and second with -k options :
# ```
curl -k https://yt-dl.org/downloads/2016.04.24/youtube-dl -o /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl

curl: (35) Unknown SSL protocol error in connection to yt-dl.org:443

Then today I started the same computer this time on Linux debian 7.10 ( wheezy ) and updated youtube-dl to 2016.05.01 version and next i have copied this update on my Mac OS 10.4 powerpc and it is running now but I don't know if I will update the next update directly on Mac OS.

[yan12125]

From your log:

ERROR: certificate common name*.aries.uberspace.de' doesn't match requested host name yt-dl.org

This indicates OpenSSL is too old. Connecting to https://yt-dl.org/ requires a new feature in OpenSSL called Server Name Indication (SNI). Only OpenSSL 0.9.8f or above supports it. [1] You can check the OpenSSL version via:

openssl version

Thanks a lot for your explanations , my Openssl version is 0.9.7l. I will close this topic, youtube-dl organisation can't update my openssl and it is not his goal. I yet will can turnaround this issue with Debian downloading of youtube-dl.
