I would check your DNS first using this [great tool](https://community.particle.io/t/dnstest-tool-testing-your-core-internet-connection/7667)

client.print is very slow and causes a few problems, so client.write is a much better way of doing things.

There is also a library for this type of connection too, adds some nice features. I updated it to use the client.write method a while ago so its nice and quick, you can fine the .h and .cpp files [here](https://community.particle.io/t/faster-http-request/9768/6) have a look at the HTTPclient library on the web IDE for example and how to use it.
