Description Gábor 2016-10-25 16:26:22 UTC 
More of the Internet uses secure connections to serve content, like bootstrap scripts https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py or https://get.haskellstack.org/.

The out-of-the-box busybox wgte doesn't have HTTPS included, so it requires the install of additional packages. Under Alpine Linux, I had to run:

apk upgrade libssl1.0 --update-cache
apk add wget ca-certificates

which enabled HTTPS support.

Could this be added to busybox "base"?

Thanks
