SLES10 SP4 - Suse_register failing with Invalid protocol err

SUSE Product Topics SLES Updates
1

Trying to update the registration for some SLES10 SP4 server(s) with a new code. I have updated the registration for this and other systems in the past successfully. It is behind a firewall but i did some telnet tests to port80 and 443 to www.novell.com and port 443 to secure-www.novell.com which are ok.

Currently, it fails with :

Invalid protocol(http://www.novell.com/center/regsvc/?command=listproducts&lang=en-US&version=1.0?command=listproducts&lang=en-US&version=1.0). https is required.

Using the following command:

suse_register -n -a email=xxx -a regcode-sles=` -a moniker= -L /tmp/suse_register.log

This is what shows up in the suse_register log:
