The url package is used to get HTTP and HTTPS resources.  Look at the
end of url-http.el, where there is a macro that defines the HTTPS
methods.  Basically it's a (let ((url-gateway-method 'tls)) around the
regular methods.  So do toggle-debug-on-error and see where the error
is.  If you can reduce it to a single url call, so much the better, but
it may be inside nnrss.el after all.
