No connection to HTTPS with WiFi101 (SSL)

Hi. I'm new to arduino but I'm pretty sure I did all the steps correctly.

I updated the firmware.

WiFi101 firmware check.
WiFi101 shield: DETECTED
Firmware version installed: 19.6.1
Latest firmware version available : 19.6.1

Check result: PASSED

I added the certificats with the tool.
263107388-3c827f81-cfad-429d-aabf-20f7613161e0

But still, after running the WifiSSLClient sketch, I will aways get:

Connected to wifi
SSID: XXXX (censored! Not the real output)
IP Address: XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX (censored! Not the real output)
signal strength (RSSI):-52 dBm

Starting connection to server...

disconnecting from server.

I'm using the WifiSSLClient Sketch from WiFi101:

#include <SPI.h>
#include <WiFi101.h>

#include "arduino_secrets.h" 
///////please enter your sensitive data in the Secret tab/arduino_secrets.h
char ssid[] = SECRET_SSID;        // your network SSID (name)
char pass[] = SECRET_PASS;    // your network password (use for WPA, or use as key for WEP)
int keyIndex = 0;            // your network key Index number (needed only for WEP)

int status = WL_IDLE_STATUS;
// if you don't want to use DNS (and reduce your sketch size)
// use the numeric IP instead of the name for the server:
//IPAddress server(74,125,232,128);  // numeric IP for Google (no DNS)
char server[] = "www.google.com";    // name address for Google (using DNS)

// Initialize the Ethernet client library
// with the IP address and port of the server
// that you want to connect to (port 80 is default for HTTP):
WiFiSSLClient client;

void setup() {
  //Initialize serial and wait for port to open:
  Serial.begin(9600);
  while (!Serial) {
    ; // wait for serial port to connect. Needed for native USB port only
  }

  // check for the presence of the shield:
  if (WiFi.status() == WL_NO_SHIELD) {
    Serial.println("WiFi shield not present");
    // don't continue:
    while (true);
  }

  // attempt to connect to WiFi network:
  while (status != WL_CONNECTED) {
    Serial.print("Attempting to connect to SSID: ");
    Serial.println(ssid);
    // Connect to WPA/WPA2 network. Change this line if using open or WEP network:
    status = WiFi.begin(ssid, pass);

    // wait 10 seconds for connection:
    delay(10000);
  }
  Serial.println("Connected to wifi");
  printWiFiStatus();

  Serial.println("\nStarting connection to server...");
  // if you get a connection, report back via serial:
  if (client.connect(server, 443)) {
    Serial.println("connected to server");
    // Make a HTTP request:
    client.println("GET /search?q=arduino HTTP/1.1");
    client.println("Host: www.google.com");
    client.println("Connection: close");
    client.println();
  }
}

void loop() {
  // if there are incoming bytes available
  // from the server, read them and print them:
  while (client.available()) {
    char c = client.read();
    Serial.write(c);
  }

  // if the server's disconnected, stop the client:
  if (!client.connected()) {
    Serial.println();
    Serial.println("disconnecting from server.");
    client.stop();

    // do nothing forevermore:
    while (true);
  }
}


void printWiFiStatus() {
  // print the SSID of the network you're attached to:
  Serial.print("SSID: ");
  Serial.println(WiFi.SSID());

  // print your WiFi shield's IP address:
  IPAddress ip = WiFi.localIP();
  Serial.print("IP Address: ");
  Serial.println(ip);

  // print the received signal strength:
  long rssi = WiFi.RSSI();
  Serial.print("signal strength (RSSI):");
  Serial.print(rssi);
  Serial.println(" dBm");
}

Hi,
following your question by PM, yes I did struggle some years ago with a MKR1000 to get HTTPS connection working.
If I remember well, the feed-back I received from the forum by that time, was the MKR1000 has some lack to make HTTPS connections.
I found a turn around using BearSSL Library (#include <ArduinoBearSSL.h>).
I then used a MKR1010 which has not this limitation.
I hope this will helpful to you !

Thank you very much for your answer.
Sadly BearSSL isn't working either. So I will return my MKR1000 and get an MKR1010 or an ESP32.

OK. Too bad.
MKR1010 worked well for me.
I did discover ArduinoBearSSL library while I was waiting for the MKR1010 to arrive.

What are you trying to achieve ?

I'm teying to replicate this. https://github.com/alexchang0229/SatelliteTracker
