    Data transfer from a non-SSL to and from SSL

    I would like to know how we can transfer data through a
    secured channel to a non-secured site. I am designing an
    e-commerce site and getting data from secured site
    database(on a firewall) and display to my site. Thank you.

    I wasn't able to implement this through PHP and switched that part of
    the site to a perl CGI program. Perl has CPAN modules available that
    permit emulation of a browser accessing SSL connections, complete with
    accepting any cookies, POST, and GET processing. I needed this to
    connect to our credit card processor.

      You can do a similar thing with the cURL library.

        My ISP doesn't offer php with curl. They won't allow compiling programs
        on their system. They were willing to make sure the perl CPAN libraries
        for Digest::MD5, HTTP::Request:: Common, and LWP::UserAgent. Other php
        providers didn't offer curl either, so I went with the current ISP.
