     $ LANG=C curl -I https://www.linux-usb.org/
     curl: (7) Failed to connect to www.linux-usb.org port 443: 
Connection refused

Port 443 is open though for linux-usb.org, and the user gets an error:

     $ LANG=C curl -I https://linux-usb.org
     curl: (60) SSL: no alternative certificate subject name matches 
target host name 'linux-usb.org'

Kind regards,
