What happens if you run "curl -ik https://my.web.server/"; ?
This is essentially the way bbgen 2.x uses curl. Check with
"curl --version" that it has built-in support for HTTPS.

Do you get an "sslcert" column for this host ? If you do then it has
connected with SSL; if you don't, then perhaps it is not doing SSL but
just plain HTTP.

No, bbgen disables the certificate verification that curl normally
performs (this is what the curl "-k" option does).
