Right you are about the host, but after changing it to what it should be, here's me results:
Code:
;http:
[SockOpen] httptest
[SockClose] httptest
Bytes Send: 59 - Bytes to send: 0
Bytes Rcvd: 34105 - Bytes to rcvd: 9

;https
[SockOpen] httptests
[SockClose Error] httptests: 3 10101 [10101] Host disconnected
Bytes Send: 59 - Bytes to send: 0
Bytes Rcvd: 33039 - Bytes to rcvd: 344


So I don't know what would be causing the error after all :S
