Just after I sent this message I remembered that the mac supports curl from it's bash terminal.
I fired up a mac, went to the terminal, and tried https curl commands. It worked. From inside J's JHS this works shell 'curl -v https//........' The payload JSON is returned which is what I was looking for. I will figure out how to make this work on windows later. Things like https 64 bit curl are so fundamental that the irritants should be crushed on common OSs by now.
