Picturebox1.load sudden failure

Question

Suddenly when I use Picturebox1.load to download an image from the Internet I get this error:

The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel.

I have used this for years and never had any problems. What's interesting is, if I create a WebBrowser control, I can navigate directly to the picture and save it that way. But this is a long roundabout method of a basic function. Why would Picturebox1.Load suddenly stop working?

Here is the URL of the image I am trying to save: https://img.gsmls.com/imagedb/highres/75/101537932_1.jpg

I am thinking maybe I need to add a Web header... Does this make sense? Can you add a header to the Picturebox control? Any other ways around this? — brand0, Oct 13 '17 at 14:41

I solved it. I just removed the s from the URL, so now it's http:// instead of https://, and its back to working normally. Not sure if this is a real fix.
