Ok, I've gotten a little progress....it's an error, but at least it's feedback. :) Error #35 (SSL: error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol) I have a basic session setup here. [code] $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://loginareablahblah"); curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']); curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "user=john&pass=doe"); curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); $res = curl_exec ($ch); curl_close($ch); [/code] Can anyone help?
