Drush make: simplexml_load_file(): I/O warning : failed to load external entity "" Project.php:74 I'm facing a very strange issue with Drush wget and OpenSSL on my mac book (MacOSX Sierra).

When I launch drush make site.make command (which should theoretically download the all modules) it fails with the following error:

Failed to get available update data from https://updates.drupal.org/release-history/workbench_og/7.x
simplexml_load_file(): I/O warning : failed to load external entity "" Project.php:74


I tried 

wget https://updates.drupal.org/release-history/rate/7.x


and I got the following message:

https://updates.drupal.org/release-history/rate/7.xResolving
updates.drupal.org... 151.101.113.175
Connecting to updates.drupal.org|151.101.113.175|:443... connected.
OpenSSL: error:1407742E:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:tlsv1 alert protocol version
Unable to establish SSL connection.


Same message with flags:

wget https://updates.drupal.org/release-history/rate/7.x --no-check-certificate


Here I found exactly the problem that I have but, even if reinstalling openssl and upgrading the version (current version is OpenSSL 1.0.2l 25 May 2017) the problem persists.

Did someone has the same kind of issue?
And, in case, how did you handle it?

Thank you in advance!
This workaround fixed my issue:

In drush.inc

if ($use_wget) {
  drush_shell_exec("wget --no-check-certificate -q --timeout=30 -O %s %s", $destination_tmp, $url);
} else {
  drush_shell_exec("curl --insecure --tlsv1 --fail -s -L --connect-timeout 30 -o %s %s", $destination_tmp, $url);
}


so weird anyway...
