How to fix Docker's “Error pulling image…too many redirects” failures while pulling images from registry?

Question

I am running Docker via CoreOS and Vagrant on OS X 10.10.

When I run docker pull ubuntu in CoreOS, I got following errors:

$ docker pull

On MacOSX, if you use Docker Machine you can try to:

 docker-machine ls
 docker-machine ssh YOUR_VM_NAME

and then from within the VM: kill the /usr/local/bin/docker process and start it again by hand:

 sudo /usr/local/bin/docker -d -D -g /var/lib/docker -H unix:// -H tcp://0.0.0.0:2376 --label provider=virtualbox --tlsverify --tlscacert=/var/lib/boot2docker/ca.pem --tlscert=/var/lib/boot2docker/server.pem --tlskey=/var/lib/boot2docker/server-key.pem -s aufs

Funnily enough, restarting like this

sudo /etc/init.d/docker restart

does not help.
