I think this would require a good deal of work to implement as you'd basically need to incorporate an entire SSL library into PHP. A much easier approach would be to use popen() on stunnel. Something like stunnel -c -r secure.server.com:443 -f will open an SSL channel to the remote server. stdin will be sent to the remote server and responses back will be output to stdout. Your code could look something like: $ssl_sock = popen("stunnel -c -r remote_web_server_address:443 -f"); fputs($ssl_sock, "GET / HTTP/0.9\r\n\r\n"); while (!feof($ssl_sock)) { echo fgets($ssl_sock, 4096); } pclose($ssl_sock);
