TDV is unable to connect to a web-service data source using HTTPS SSL. How can I determine whether the network is the cause?

To check, you can do the following:

(1)   Reproduce the issue.

(2)   Open cs_server.log with any text editor.

(3)   Scroll to the end of the log to find the stack trace.  For instance, if you reproduced the problem at 2018-05-12 17:11:35, there will be a trace in the log, time-stamped with "2018-05-12 17:11:35".

(4)   Look at the last "Caused by" line in the stack trace. This is the Root Cause line. Does this line contain "java.net.ConnectException"? If it does, it means that the Root Cause is a network connectivity problem (java.net is the Java network api).

Below is a sample trace, followed by an explanation:
