problems with HttpSendRequest

Subject:problems with HttpSendRequest

I have code that is calling HttpSendRequest with a https:// URL.
This call fails with 80090331 (something about not being able to find a
common algorithim)
Accessing the same https:// URL with CURL and WGET from Cygwin and Mozilla
from mozilla.org, I can get the https:// URL and see the expected contents.
Internet Explorer (which I would gather uses wininet for HTTPS) returns a
"The page cannot be displayed" error for the URL.

This is a windows XP SP2 machine with the windows firewalls and such disabled.

Is there something I can do that would help me figure out whats going on
(is there a checked/debug build of wininet.dll that would provide more
information about what is going wrong?)

I have been messing with xp-lite, xp-antispy, windows system optomizer and
group policy editor in an attempt to disable/remove stuff I dont need and I
could very well have removed or disabled something needed for wininet to be
able to correctly do https, is there any settings in these programs I could
mess with in an attempt to fix the program?
