[gentoo-user] ssl timeout when downloading file(s)

I have been trying to install firefox extensions and kept getting timeout 
errors.  I have since discovered that I am unable to download files over an 
ssl (https://) encrypted connection using Firefox or Konqueror.  I have not 
been able to find any help on this issue, where should I look in my system to 
resolve this.  I was able to install a Firefox extension from a local 
location that I downloaded with a different computer.

- Does wget work?

- Are gnutls and openssl installed?

- Did you use revdep-rebuild (part of gentoolkit)?

- Are you able to visit https sites? Are only downloads affected?

I have gnutls and openssl installed, and have run revdep-rebuild.  I am
able to visit https sites, only downloads are affected.  neither wget
nor ping will work.  wget returns "unable to resolve name".  however my
other computer is able to resolve the same site just fine.

equery uses wget ? 

ping is irrelevant. It is the wrong layer for your problem. 
unless, of course, you just pinged the hostname (without the https://
part) and it couldn't resolve it; then the problem is either the site
is down or your DNS server is acting up.
