+1

James, what if you:

$ openssl s_client -connect maps.googleapis.com:443

Do you get a connection? If so, there is some other issue with the
software and we'll have to dig-in. If that does NOT connect, then it
is probably a network / firewall problem.

That's the same IPv6 address that I get when I do "host
maps.googleapis.com" so at least you aren't having DNS intercepted or
something like that.

You may also need to go through an HTTP proxy to get to the outside.
You might want to ask the client is they require an HTTP proxy.

Hmm. Intermittent connection failures, sometimes with cipher-suite
mismatches and other weird things? Maybe they are one of those
companies who MitM everything and their MitM box is badly
configured... or they are playing with it.

I'm putting the certificate actually presented by maps.googleapis.com
to a clean source below. If you can connect with "openssl s_client"
then check to see that they are the same. If the company is MitM'ing,
then tell them to (a) stop it and (b) fix that component to that it
works properly.

Or, like a lot of software, using something like Apache http-client.
The package name for that starts with org.apache.http and there can be
miles of stack frames in their traces. (IMO http-client has become far
too complicated to be of use to casual programmers. I honestly can't
believe it's that complicated to make an HTTP request. Spoiler alert:
it's not.)

Would you be willing to post some (or all!) of the stack trace?

That's an interesting thought, but Google doesn't usually do that
without a really good reason.
