emacs/w3m cannot retrieve url

In emacs when I try and browse https://lobste.rs via M-x
w3m-browse-url I get the below error in emacs/w3m:

Location: https://lobste.rs/
Cannot retrieve URL: https://lobste.rs
/usr/local/bin/w3m exits with the code 11
Something seems to be wrong with URL or this system.

If I try https://news.ycombinator.com it works. Several other urls
fail like google duckduckgo.

If I try it via the shell command line using w3m it works fine.

The same tests work on alpine, so this is why I am asking here first
rather than emacs/w3m.

In this area my init.el files are the same.

Any thoughts on how to go about finding out what is wrong?

Thanks.
