POST to https in LC5.0.2 - Error socket closed

[Pi Digital]

Hi bill

Even a call to https://google.com returns the same error. It’s https it does not like. As mentioned, in LC9 it works perfectly. LC5.0.2 won’t let me access https because LC locked out that for enterprise users only. So basically, I screwed! Again!

It’s pretty simple. I am traveling and not at my computer, but if you searched the emails for the last few weeks on “earthlearningsolutions”, you would find it.
