note 8709 added to CURL, Client URL Library Functions

I'm not seeing a way to just save the contents of the page or headers to a variable. All I can find is how to save this stuff to a file. I'm looking for a way to make a connection to an https server, and grab a page into a variable. Curl looks like the _only_ feasable way to do this. PHP has no native support for https connections, and curl does not appear to have a way to save stuff into variables. Any ideas? -david http://www.php.net/manual/ref.curl.php
