I presume the difference in domain names is a typo, and you meant the
same domain name for both.

In any case, "can't connect" and "can't reach" aren't specific enough
to do any problem determination.  Is the problem one of these?:

- Tries to connect to port 443, and the connection attempt times out.

- Connects to port 443, and fails in attempting the TLS handshake.

- Understands the TLS handshake, but doesn't accept the server's certificate.

...or is it something else?  What, exactly, is the failure?
