Comment (by zooko):

 Heffalump from the #darcs channel on IRC says that the Haskell "HTTP"
 library doesn't do SSL, and silently tries http when you asked it to do
 https, so that probably explains all of the 301 errors. The only solution
 is not to use a version of darcs that uses the HTTP library and instead
 use a version of darcs that uses libcurl. The CA errors are, if I
 understand correctly, that some builds of darcs have a libcurl builtin
 which doesn't have a full CA cert bundle compiled in, nor does it load a
 CA cert bundle from the filesystem, or if it does then the one that it
 loads doesn't have the right root CA in. The work-around for that is as
 described by dcoder in comment:5.
