When attempting to install yard, I received the following error

[root@pptest ~]# gem i yard
ERROR: Could not find a valid gem 'yard' (>= 0), here is why:
Unable to download data from https://rubygems.org/ - Errno::ECONNREFUSED: Connection refused - connect(2) (https://api.rubygems.org/quick/Marshal.4.8/yard-0.8.7.3.gemspec.rz)

Once the URL was provided, I attempted to connect to the URL using curl

[root@pptest tmp]# curl -D - https://api.rubygems.org/quick/Marshal.4.8/yard-0.8.7.3.gemspec.rz

Next, I attempted to connect to the referenced URL and received the error message

[root@pptest tmp]# curl https://bb-m.rubygems.org/quick/Marshal.4.8/yard-0.8.7.3.gemspec.rz
curl: (7) couldn't connect to host

I could ping the host, mirror01.c45627.blueboxgrid.com, but could not connect to port 443. Is there a problem with this host?
