What URL are you trying this against?  The URL in your code
"https://url.com" doesn't seem to respond at all so I can't reproduce
your error.  Have you tried against a well known HTTPS endpoint like
"https://mail.google.com"?  What happens?

I'll try to guess anyway .. the Status Line in an HTTP response is the
first line that gives the response code, something like "HTTP/1.1 200
OK".  Maybe your server is returning malformed headers?
