FWIW, the given case works for me with RHEL6's wget (wget-1.12-10.el6),
but I see this entry in the changelog for that package:
* Fri Jan 31 2014 Tomas Hozza <thozza@redhat.com> 1.12-2
- Fix wget to recognize certificates with alternative names (#736445)
which likely was a back-patch from upstream 1.13 or later. It's
reasonable to suspect that there are still wget's in the wild with this
bug. How much of a PITA would it be to avoid use of alternative names
for the download servers?
