Just for the record, I think I'm experiencing this same issue implementing the OpenSSL backend in wget2. As soon as I discover how to solve it there I could back-port the fix to wget.

When using `wget` to connect to an Apache server which I believe lacks the `SSLCertificateChainFire` directive (www.xocolatl.com; I've contacted the server administrator to request a fix, so might not work indefinitely) using a Let's Encrypt certificate, `wget` reports (from running `wget https://www.xocolatl.com/`):

> ERROR: The certificate of ‘www.xocolatl.com’ is not trusted.                                                                                                              
> ERROR: The certificate of ‘www.xocolatl.com’ doesn't have a known issuer.


The site works fine in Chrome on Linux, and other sites using Let's Encrypt certificates work fine on my machine using `wget`. https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=www.xocolatl.com&s=116.202.171.177 shows that the intermediate certificate requires an extra download, and https://discussions.qualys.com/thread/12098 reports essentially the same issue.

What I expected: `wget` would connect to the server and get the page as usual, as works in my browser.

Can we make `wget` do the same as browsers, and fetch intermediate certificates? How difficult would that be?
