Thanks for this suggestion, which I should have tried. There is indeed an error that occurs immediately after getting the file: error Protocol https not supported or disabled in libcurl
I assume the libcurl library is a hosting thing, and not an LC server thing. I did a little reading and from what I can tell libcurl is capable of supporting HTTPS, so now I’m trying to figure out if I need to somehow enable this on my (shared) DreamHost server?
