I am getting http code as 000 or Time out on server for the cURL in shell script

Question

When i am executing this script on server i am getting response code as 000 but i am getting status code as 200 when i am executing this on local machine. This is happening for the same URL & Script.

flag=0
for URL in $@
do
        STATUS=$(curl -s -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}' $URL)
        if ([ $STATUS -gt 400 ] || [ $STATUS -lt 100 ]); then
               echo $URL "is not working fine, STATUS CODE is "$STATUS
flag=1
        else
               echo $URL "is  working, STATUS CODE is "$STATUS
        fi
done

if [ $flag -eq 1 ]; then
exit 1
fi

I have seen in some forums that the problem is due to SSL. Please let me know what can be changed in above script.

also use -k or the --insecure parameter with your curl commandline to overcome this issue.
