Jacque,

This happened to me just yesterday in a Rev standalone on Win XP. I was opening a stack that used https from a launcher-type standalone that lacked the dll. I tried to post data to an https URL, and I got nothing--empty-- back. No error message or even an html error. I don't know if my experience is generalizable, but that's what happened to me. 

Draw whatever conclusions you will. Anything to save some testing time.
