When using secure.php.net as the domain name, download works:
wget https://secure.php.net/distributions/php-7.0.0.tar.bz2

Expected result:
----------------
Links provided in the secure downloads webpage should point to a domain that matches the certificate, or a certificate should be set up for the root domain.

Actual result:
--------------
Links provided in the secure downloads webpage point to the root domain, which has no valid certificate:
certificate common name '*.php.net' doesn't match requested host name 'php.net'

sneaky.

We only support https over secure.php.net -- no other mirrors, including the primary "www.php.net" or "php.net".

secure.php.net is a special type of mirror, and not actually registered as mirror, and reports itself as being "php.net" -- hence the download urls "https://php.net/..".

Not sure how to fix this at the moment..

This has been now resolved via a migration to the server and infrastructure where mirrors aren't used anymore and PHP https issues are finally solved with this context. Thank you for reporting issues and helping us making PHP better as much as it can be.
