hs.GetURL keeps timing out (SSL issue?)

[Gprev]

Hoping someone could point me in the right direction here. Why does this time out every time it's run?

&hs.GetURL("espn.com","/mlb",True,80)

This had been working fine for years, but just started failing a month or so ago.

I guess ESPN added SSL to their site, but &hs.GetURL("https://www.espn.com","/mlb",True,443) times out as well. I wrote a script (below) to trap the exception and I just get "Operation Timed Out."

Is there something I need to do to handle https connections that I haven't stumbled upon yet?

Thanks.

Test script:

Sub Main(ByVal Parms As Object)

dim page, newP
System.Net.ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = System.Net.SecurityProtocolType.Tls13

Try
page = hs.GetURL("https://www.espn.com", "/mlb", True, 443) 'I have tried multiple versions of this with different parameters
hs.WriteLog("Test", page)
Catch ex as Exception
hs.WriteLog("Test", ex)
End Try

End Sub

Log reads: Test ERROR: The operation has timed out

Working fine here without setting the SecurityProtocol:

    Sub Main(ByVal Parms As Object)

        Dim page, newP
        'System.Net.ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = System.Net.SecurityProtocolType.Tls12

        Try
            page = hs.GetURL("https://www.espn.com", "/mlb", True, 443) 'I have tried multiple versions of this with different parameters
            hs.WriteLog("Test", page)
        Catch ex As Exception
            hs.WriteLog("Test", ex)
        End Try

    End Sub

What OS is this?

I'm on W10

Default setting for ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol is SecurityProtocolType.Default which for Win 10 is Tls12

Thanks for the input, guys. I am on Win10, and the above times out whether I use the security protocol call or not. Typing URL directly into browser on same machine works fine. So frustrating when you troubleshoot every possible scenario that comes to you, and it makes absolutely no difference in the outcome.

These are the times when it ends up being something so simple it doesn't occur to me.

Have you tried another https website with the script to see if that works?

[Gprev]

Yes, hs.GetURL("homeseer.com", "/", True, 80) works perfectly (and redirects to https)
hs.GetURL("ESPN.com", "/", True, 80) times out

I changed it to all vb.net to scrape the page, which works fine. Just some issue wit hs.geturl on my machine. It will likely clear up at some point on its own.
