Hi Gary,

I suggest investigating the cause of the BIO_do_connect failure more 
thoroughly.  OpenSSL provides a lot of information when an API fails. 
Check out ERR_get_error and the related APIs in OpenSSL and use them to 
learn more about the BIO_do_connect failure.  This should point more 
directly at the reason the connection cannot be set up, and that may 
suggest further avenues for debugging.  Feel free to come back with the 
details if you'd like help interpreting them.
