Cannot access https using curl

[kevingarnett2000]

Hi,

 

I have compiled php with the following options for using curl

    --with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl

    --with-curl=/usr/local

 

and I have compiled curl with

    --with-ssl=/usr/local/ssl

 

For non https sites (see below), my codes works fine

$c = curl_init();

curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.google.com");

$result = curl_exec($c); // it works

 

But when accessing https sites(see below), I got a "cannot connect to host" error vias the curl_error() call.

$c = curl_init();

curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_URL, "https://somebank.com");

curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST,  2);

curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);

 

$result = curl_exec($c); // returns false

$error = curl_error(); // "connect connect to host"

 

Whats wrong? eh

Does it work if you don't set VERIFYHOST?  I would also verify that you can make the connection (such as running telnet somebank.com 443 and seeing if it connects).

I have tried removing the VERIFYHOST and try again, it still doesnt work.

 

And weird enough, I cannot even telnet the SSL site. Does the problem lies on my computer itself? And what are some of the solutions to it?
