Right, so there's no mystery why curl failed. You don't have anything
listening on that port.

Isn't that because you try to speak https:// with the http:// server?

Fine? You said above that it displays an error message.

Right, because the client can't verify the server:
http://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html

Now you're getting somewhere. Now curl works fine and gets info from your web
server (using an insecure ssl connection, but it works). Now figure out what
the correct URL is or other problems by checking the web server logs etc.

You're in charge of your web server so you should check out why you hand out
different responses to different user-agents. Seems a very strange thing to
do in my view.
