Ah well, if you are behind a proxy you should talk politely with your sysadm, show them the openssl command and ask what you should do to enable it to work. It will probably be something simple but is not something anyone external to your network can help you with. Good luck.

OK TY for your kind help today, I appreciate you taking valuable Friday time to assist a disabled monk over here. Luckily I can get by without this new module today anyhow. I'll play dumb and put in a support ticket to let the admins install this module and let THEM sort it out!

Best wishes you all get ++ votes..
