get_https() to fetch from common sites can fail with error:0A000126:SSL routines::unexpected eof while reading

[gmcharlt]

Using get_https() to fetch a page from common sites can fail with an error:0A000126:SSL routines::unexpected eof while reading error.

Here is a small test program that exemplifies the error:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Net::SSLeay qw(get_https);
$Net::SSLeay::trace = 3;

print $Net::SSLeay::VERSION, "\n";
my ($page, $response, $reply_headers) = get_https('www.google.com', 443, '/');
print $response, "\n";

Output:

Other sites work, e.g., www.microsoft.com (but not microsoft.com) and www.example.org.

I've reproduced the problem both with 1.92 and the Git master. The OpenSSL version is 3.0.11 and the Perl version is 5.36.0.
