Error in open.connection(x, "rb") : fatal SSL/TLS alert

I'm trying to scrape the following file, using rvest package:

page <- read_html("https://www.gutenberg.org/files/55560/55560-0.txt")

However, I get the following error:

Error in open.connection(x, "rb") : 
schannel: next InitializeSecurityContext failed: SEC_E_ILLEGAL_MESSAGE (0x80090326) - This error usually occurs when a fatal SSL/TLS alert is received (e.g. handshake failed). More detail may be available in the Windows System event log.
