@ryanc @GossiTheDog No, it works just fine.
I don't know why it shows "timed out" errors for them but they are definitely using it incorrectly, LOL.
They are using the "HTTP" button which, for an HTTPS site, will show "301 Moved Permanently" error (well, at least if the site is properly configured).
They should be using the "TCP Port" button which will try to access the site over port 443.
That said, I don't know why it times out on the e.g., Liverpool government site. I tested it on our Lab's site and it connected just fine.
