The gnutls.org server does not have a self-signed certificate.
It is signed by a CA that probably opera does not trust.

This sounds like a problem of opera.

I'm not sure it's a gnutls problem, but anyway with that information there is 
not much I can do. Try running "gnutls-http-serv -d 3" in the src/ directory, 
connect with opera on it and send me the output.
