Please provide any additional information below.
Here is the -vv output:

    Error 500 when fetching https://www.snort.org/rules/snortrules-snapshot-2962.tar.gz.md5 at /usr/local/bin/pulledpork.pl line 466

I modified pulledpork.pl to connect to different https hosts, like 
https://google.de and I get the same problem: timeout.

wget works for this call: 
https://www.snort.org/rules/snortrules-snapshot-2962.tar.gz.md5?oinkcode=4b32d72
fe46XXXXXXX7008c86e205d1c44030

https_proxy is set correctly, but only pulledpork isn't able to connect to the 
snort host. Snort is now denying downloading rules via http. So it's completely 
not working anymore.

I finally figured out the problem. If somebody has the same obstacles, here is 
the solution:

modify pulledpork.pl:

+ use Net::SSL;
+ use LWP::Protocol::https;

+ $ENV{PERL_LWP_SSL_VERIFY_HOSTNAME} = 0;

- getstore( "http://www.snort.org/reg-rules/$rule_file/$oinkcode",
+ getstore( "https://www.snort.org/rules/$rule_file?oinkcode=$oinkcode",

- getstore( "http://www.snort.org/reg-rules/$rule_file.md5/$oinkcode",
+ getstore( "https://www.snort.org/rules/$rule_file.md5?oinkcode=$oinkcode",

and finally export the following environment:

export PERL_LWP_ENV_PROXY=http://yourProxy:Port

There was a problem with the snort.org website at this time, the old schema for 
getstore will still work.  This being said, similar changes to what you have 
noted will be occurring in the next release.
