is it possible to use php to do a https: get , i.e. to have it emulate a browser. I need to regularly poll a remote site an retrieve files with https.

I'm not sure if you can get files by running this: fopen("https://domain.com/file.tar.gz");

we will try that, thanks !

But you can certainly use this : exec("/path/to/lynx https://domain.com/file.tar.gz");

unfortunately the URL is to long for lynx :(

Or even exec("/path/to/wget https://domain.com/file.tar.gz");

We could not get wget to do https !! do we need a differnet version?
