Hello Daniel,
                      I tried with command line curl and it worked fine. I
spent time investigating and figured out that problem was something else.
Problem was https. I hadn't enabled https.

http://google.com was redirecting finally to a https://google.com page.

Thanks again Daniel for putting up the curl for all of us and thanks for
your quick support. You rock.
