    problems using cURL to access https

    I'm just starting to use cURL and having trouble accessing https pages.
    All I want to do at this stage is get an https page and display it,
    just to test the https get is working. However, I always get either a
    CURLE_OPERATION _TIMEOUTED (28) or CURLE_COULDNT_C ONNECT (7) error.
    I can see from phpinfo() that cURL and SSL are installed, as follows:
    CURL support enabled
    CURL Information libcurl/7.12.0 OpenSSL/0.9.6b zlib/1.1.4
    but my code that works fine for an http call doesn't work for an https
    call. Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong or what might be
    stopping the call from working? I'm on a hosted site so I don't have
    command line access.
    PHP Version 4.3.10, running on linux & apache.

    here's the code I'm running:
    <?php
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch , CURLOPT_URL, "https://myserviceall.co m/index.php");
    // any old https page
    curl_setopt($ch , CURLOPT_TIMEOUT ,10);
    $result = curl_exec ($ch);
    if (curl_error($ch )){
    print "<br>error #" . curl_errno($ch) . ": " . curl_error($ch) ;
    }
    curl_close ($ch);
    print $result;

    print "<br>end<br >";

    phpinfo();
    ?>

    Same code works fine for an http url.

    I've also tried calling curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_SSLVERS ION, 2); since
    there was mention somewhere that might help, but same problem occurs.

    help greatly appreciated.

      Try adding this option:

      curl_setopt($ch , CURLOPT_SSL_VER IFYPEER, FALSE);

      A tutorial that I found said it was necessary (and it worked for me).

      Integrity is obvious.
      The lack of it is common.
