RE: [PHP] POST to port 443 (SSL)

Ermm you are missing SSL encryption. You can't just try and talk to port 443! You have to use something that talks SSL to talk to port 443. fsockopen() does not talk SSL.

This requires you POSTing an XML document to their Tools server, which is SSL enabled. I am having a problem getting this to connect in PHP (4.0.6) on my server (Apache 1.3.20). In my scripts, I use $Socket = fsockopen (www.ups.com, 443, $errno, $errstr); if (!$Socket) die ("Error bla bla bla"); fputs ($Socket, "GET /ups.app/xml/Rate HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n"); ... ... If you point your browser to https://www.ups.com/ups.app/xml/Rate you will see a response. But this code seems to just time-out. If I change the port 443 to port 80, I will get a response. What am I missing for it to talk to an SSL port??
