CURL switching to http instead of https?

Just rebuilt my server. Uploaded my website, and the script no longer works. The script calls an SSL website, and the response is Access Denied to "http://...." It's blocked because the API will not use unsecured connections.

Same script. New server switched from CentOS to Ubuntu 20.04 and now has modsecurity. Wouldn't think there'd be anything that makes it switch. Script works on 3 computers including my old directadmin server.

Thoughts?

If this is unclear: website calls CURL on an SSL website but gets a rejection from the API saying my server is not using SSL. SSL certificate is set up on the server
