CA problems with WSDL service over SSL (PEAR::SOAP)

I am a newcomer to SOAP. Just getting started trying to get a web service to work for me. The particular service I'm trying to contact runs over SSL, so the URL for their service begins with 'https://'. I have managed to get at their WSDL and have generated a proxy successfully (at least when I print out the results of ->generateProxyCode(); it looks more or less like what I'd expect. The advertised services do seem to have corresponding functions in the proxy class. However, when I try to call one of the service functions, I get an error message that reads "curl_exec error 60 SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK". I've also checked in my error_log to see what PHP is reporting and I find the following for every time I load the page with the php call to create a SOAP_WSDL: PHP Warning: fread(): SSL: fatal protocol error in /usr/local/php/lib/php/Net/Socket.php on line 243 Now, I know that when I try to connect via a browser to the website for administration for this same service, I also get a message from my browser telling me that the cert cannot be verified and asking if I want to continue. If I answer 'yes' then I am let into the page and all works just fine. Is there a way to do the same from within PHP::SOAP? Is this something I need to take to the providers of the service? Any suggestions? Many thanks in advance!
