This seems to work, but I don't normally use it, so I'm
not familiar:

Set WinHttpReq = CreateObject("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1")

 temp = WinHttpReq.Open("GET", "https://www.washingtonpost.com/", True)
    WinHttpReq.Send

     WinHttpReq.WaitForResponse

    strResult = WinHttpReq.ResponseText


Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set TS = FSO.CreateTextFile("C:\windows\desktop\up\index.html", True)
  TS.Write strResult
  TS.Close
Set TS = Nothing

Set fso = Nothing
Set WinHttpReq = Nothing

MsgBox Err.number & vbCrLf & Err.description
'------------------------------------------------

google.com gave me a 301
www.google.com worked but gave me a 404.
I then tried https://www.washingtonpost.com/
and got a cert expired error.
