Re: HTTP_Reques2 socket adapter and ssl

Hi David, David Jean Louis wrote:

I was trying to implement ssl support in Services_Twitter (we use HTTP_Request2 with the socket adapter by default) and it wasn't working, the error I had was: ... I realized that it was because HTTP_Request2 sets ssl_verify_peer option to true by default; setting it to false in my code solved the problem. Is this deliberate or is it a bug ? because in the php documentation default is false: http://php.net/manual/en/context.ssl.php

This is deliberate, since recent cURL versions set this to true by default and modern browsers fuss a lot about invalid certificates. I think this is rather a (lack of) documentation problem. When documentation is done, I'll also have to point that 'ssl_verify_host' in Socket adapter is effectively a no-op due to http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=47030 and that 'ssl_verify_peer' won't work in it when connecting through proxy.
