Solution 1

This is a problem with the certificate. By default the connection is not trusted and somehow the client cannot validate the certificate.

Take a look here why the connection may fail. And also a way on how to solve it:

Add this line to your code before making a request:

System.Net.ServicePointManager.CertificatePolicy = new AcceptServerNameMismatch();
