Possibly HTTPS might help. As that is where your specified URL redirects to if entered directly into a browser...

I tried using HTTPS too, it doesn't work either. Same error: connection timed out.

Issue resolved. I tried running the program from PC sas instead of EG. Program completed successfully.
