owlready2 API failing to access https links - owl

Question

I faced a very basic issue that Owlready2 API get_topology() API failed to read HTTPS URL link to my owl file. There are solutions in case of URLLIB APIs; however, I do not know how it is handled in case of OwlReady2 APIs.
If I use the 'HTTP' based URL (e.g. commented line), it works fine.
import logging
from owlready2 import *
def main(argv):
Logger()
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
#onto = get_ontology("http://www.lesfleursdunormal.fr/static/_downloads/pizza_onto.owl")
onto.load()
onto = get_ontology("https://github.com/anilj1/semanticallycorrect/blob/master/ontologies/country.owl")
if __name__ == '__main__':
main(sys.argv[1:])
The run-time error I am getting is:
except: raise OwlReadyOntologyParsingError("Cannot download '%s'!" % f)
owlready2.base.OwlReadyOntologyParsingError: Cannot download 'https://github.com/anilj1/semanticallycorrect/blob/master/ontologies/country.owl'!
Process finished with exit code 1
The main call trace is as follows.
