No, first check the firewall settings.  Be sure he has port 443 open
to the outside world.
Using telnet will only give you identical results...  But, to be sure,
you can use telnet on the local machine to check to see if HTTPS is
working by using 127.0.0.1 or localhost.localdomain as the server name.

In 99% of the cases though, it will be the firewall blocking port 443.
