I reverted the patch.

With it or without it, the result was the same: URL wasn't able to
retrieve anything but just returned the HTML below.

So there's a bigger problem in this area than just this.  The TLS stuff
you point to may be an issue, but I'm not sure how.

Content-type: text/html

<html>
 <head>
  <title>Error</title>
 </head>
 <body>
  <div>
   <h1>Error requesting article...</h1>
   <p>
    The status message returned by the NNTP server was:<br><hr>
    <xmp>
Couldn't open connection to news.gmane.org.    </xmp>
   </p>
   <p>
    If you feel this is an error, M-x report-emacs-bug RET.
   </p>
  </div>
 </body>
</html>
