I would like to download flagpoll from this site:

https://realityforge.vrsource.org/twiki/pub/FlagPoll/FlagpollDownloads/

but get an error like this:

mccdo:/Volumes/data/dports-dev/devel/flagpoll mccdo$ sudo port -d -v

The file is present on the site but for some reason I am unable to  
download it so I am trying a couple of different options to access  
the file.

Also, the man page for portfile references fetch.ignore_sslcrt so  
this should possibly be listed as a bug.
