I think I may been in your exact shoes once, and it was a problem with 
the Curl library in the MapServer build (I believe Curl is used for this 
certification/communication, along with the OpenSSL, but you could 
clarify this with other developers).  I would also test with MS4W to see 
if you get the same problem.

I think you said it used to work with an older MapServer version; I 
would therefore test on that same server with that same older MapServer 
version/package again too.

Ha, this is how I debug (yes gives you grey hairs ha!).
