Version 3.7.7, fresh download and compile. Fedora 24, x86_64.?MOTIFL = /usr/lib64
Try to download latest SOHO image (same results for any image or size) and?
sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov replies (from the log):Rcv: <p>The document has moved <a href="https://:443/data/realtime/eit_284/512/latest.jpg">here</a>.</p>
I messed around with sunmenu.c and?XEphem.SOHOhost until the GET matched what sohowww claimed:
http: GET https://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov:443/data/realtime/eit_284/512/latest.jpg HTTP/1.0

Error talking to SOHO .. see File->System log
Looks like something changed on the sohowww end or there is something platform-specific about httpGET. That href looks suspicious, doesn't it??
XEphem.SOHOhost: ?sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov sends a request that completes.?XEphem.SOHOhost: ?sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov:443 fails before the request can complete, so the :443 had to go into 'fn' or 'get'
I hope this information is of use to somebody.
