    text
    copied!<p>I'm running PHP 5.2.6 on Windows, I have <code>extension=php_curl.dll</code> and <code>extension=php_openssl.dll</code> uncommented in php.ini; as such I can see the following in <code>phpinfo</code>:</p> <pre><code>curl cURL support enabled cURL Information libcurl/7.16.0 OpenSSL/0.9.8g zlib/1.2.3 openssl OpenSSL support enabled OpenSSL Version OpenSSL 0.9.8g 19 Oct 2007 </code></pre> <p>I'm not sure that having cURL enabled is vital to this, but since it mentioned OpenSSL I thought I'd include it here anyway for completeness.</p> <hr> <p>What I want to do is simple: make a POST request to another server over SSL using <code>fsockopen</code>.<br> My code so far is this:</p> <pre><code>$host = 'www.redacted.com'; $data = 'user=redacted&amp;pass=redacted&amp;action=redacted'; $response = ""; if ( $fp = fsockopen("ssl:{$host}", 443, $errno, $errstr, 30) ) { $msg = 'POST /wsAPI.php HTTP/1.1' . "\r\n"; $msg .= 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' . "\r\n"; $msg .= 'Content-Length: ' . strlen($data) . "\r\n"; $msg .= 'Host: ' . $host . "\r\n"; $msg .= 'Connection: close' . "\r\n\r\n"; $msg .= $data; if ( fwrite($fp, $msg) ) { while ( !feof($fp) ) { $response .= fgets($fp, 1024); } } fclose($fp); } else { $response = false; } </code></pre> <p>This works fine of course if I just pass in <code>$host</code> and use port 80. But I really need to send this over SSL, and right now it's not working. <code>$response</code> gets set to <code>false</code>, <code>$errno</code> stays at <code>0</code>, and <code>$errstr</code> gets set to <code>php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: No such host is known.</code>. I know that it's not an issue of the server being down, or a typo in the host name, etc., because it DOES work if I go over port 80 unsecurely. The problems only start when I try to switch to SSL.</p> <p>What do I do to get this working?</p>
