I can open a Firefox browser and the designated URL address resolves, but stunnel cannot resolve it.  Do I have the configuration wrong or is Windows 7 blocking the connection?
I'm able to send an XML message from by application to 127.0.0.1:3600 and stunnel responds with a successful but EMPTY RESPONSE.
 
Thanks in advance for your help.
