Hi Hugo,

Firstly - Does https://extwebserv/ have a real certificate?

Try the following instead.  I haven't tested it but basically it tries the URL and sets the priority if it was successful.  It also logs the response message (a short human readable single line string that explains the response code) regardless of what it was.  It returns whatever $status is (if it's set then it'll be non-zero).

use LWP::UserAgent;

my $url = 'https://extwebserv/'.somePieceOfData;
RT::Logger->info("Ticket ".$self->TicketObj->id." Checking ".$url);
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
my $response = $ua->get($url);
my ($status, $msg);  # Set these up as empty for now
($status, $msg) =  $self->TicketObj->SetPriority('100') if $response->is_success;
RT::Logger->info("Ticket ".$self->TicketObj->id." ".$response->message);
return $status;
