cURL support

G'day folks, I have a site just about ready to go on-line. All my local testing has worked like a dream - but the cURL support on the hosting provider is partially broken. Actually using curl_init()...curl_exec() etc. on my box to contact remote URIs (both over HTTP and HTTPS) has worked from day 1 (with versions 4.0.4p1, 4.0.5 and 4.0.6). On the hosting provider, HTTPS connections don't work. But, I'm told the command-line version of curl does work. So, my question is - what gives? Are there known (intermittent) problems with support for cURL or have the provider's staff "done something" during the build of curl and/or PHP? Any help would be much appreciated as I really don't like the idea of palming off access to secure sites to yet another external program. Thanks for any information.
