The bad request thing is due to a bug in how Emacs used libgnutls
(earlier versions of libgnutls didn't show any symptoms).  It's a good
retroactive justification for 26.3, though originally the main reason
was the GPG package-signing key expiring.

In your init file works around the bug in some cases.
