Of course you guys are right on the ESP8266 HTTPS not working - I was wrongly recalling SSL working when I was writing in C using Espressif libraries.
Anyway to close this out I have made HTTPS work for what I needed by using the "tls" module on the ESP32. I'm using short messages with a private server.
However I think there's still something fishy. If I use 1V94 and run this code on an ESP32 I get this partial response from google with an error.
