i've tried to re-introduce [1] GNUTLS support in AWS, and it work
successfully !!
(that is i can use AWS.Client.Get for https request (using GNUTLS ) in AWS)

I've not tested the other problems describes in the debian/README.Debian,
but i think the problem do not occur any more ...

So i would recommend that we try re-introduce GNUTLS officially in
Debian libaws tree
(may be by verifying that the old problems are no more present ...)

[1]
In debian/build_aws.gpr, replace dummy with gnutls

I've published my modified libaws package on my Launchpad PPA repository ...

This problem is fixed in Debian libaws (2.7-2)
