Jack is right, 1st thing when having issues that use network or web  
connectivity, always confirm you can retrieve the desired result by  
another way.... either ping telnet or simply web browsing.  Bash can  
be helpful with wget as well... literally hundreds of ways of doing it.

In the past for me SNORT on pfsense has caused several issues where it  
detected "malicious" traffic and added Yahoo's IP to its blocklist.
