We get the error "Can't connect to HTTPS URL because the SSL module is not available." when running a workspace on FME Server but the same workspace run from FME Desktop is okay.
FME Desktop 2020.2.1.0 (20201130 - Build 20806 - WIN64)
FME Server 2020.2 Build 20787 - win64

The error was 'HTTPSConnectionPool(host='mapservices.gov.yk.ca', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /arcgis/rest/services/GeoYukon/GY_Biophysical/MapServer?f=json (Caused by SSLError("Can't connect to HTTPS URL because the SSL module is not available."))'
```
Digging around on Stack Overflow and similar shows people fixing it by replacing dlls and messing with system PATH and so on (ref). I'm leery of going down that path on a server. Anyone have better suggestions?
