It has been a while since I have done any SSL stuff but here goes…
If you have not already done so try using the -verbose CURL option in your thread configuration – that will give a lot of information in the log. Not necessarily more clarity but more information and potentially more clarity.
It has been a while but I think that Curl error generally means a certificate issue.
Is Iowa requiring anything other than ServerAnon? If so did they give you a certificate to use? If they did then assure the certificate is still valid (they should be able to tell you that). If there is any question, there are certificate viewrs (free) available on the Web if I recall correctly which will let you see some of the particulars.
If they gave you a certificate make sure you have the correct selection in the config for the thread.

Config us set up to use https. Site is in the config. Client Mode with TSLv1 selected and the full path and file for the Certificate File. Unless that file needs to be in a specific directory.
I wasn’t able to make an SSL connection to that address. It’s possible they have a firewall that’s checking incoming IP addresses against a list used by their clients and you need to be added to that list.
