There are rumours that someone is building an extension to do this. Otherwise, you can use a program like stunnel if you have it available. Here's a snippet from a post I made to PHP-DEV about this awhile ago: 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);
