I could run on debian testing, last updated 16 hours ago, the following
without issues:
wget https://gedankenausbruch.com/downloadbereich/Hinweis%20beim%20Download.txt

running
gnurl -O https://gedankenausbruch.com/downloadbereich/Hinweis%20beim%20Download.txt
on up-to-date guixsd did work too.

gedankenausbruch.com is signed by let's encrypt too:
https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=gedankenausbruch.com

This doesn't prove anything, but I guess it's no bug but
misconfiguration at dthompson.us ?
