Post the error message you receive.
Assuming you have the entire URL entered correctly, accessing an http:// (port 80 - no SSL) web site or https:// (port 443 - SSL) web site is basically the same process from the "using your browser" point of view. Unless, you are trying it from a location (your office, etc...) where outbound SSL connections are not permitted.
Seeing the exact error message you receive will provide more clues.
