ssl/https curl

[wpt394]

Greetings all, I'm trying to perform a curl on a "https://" site... I've searched the internet far and wide, and have yet to come up with any solution to my problem.  I was hoping someone on here could point me in the right direction.  Whenever I try this code....

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $defined_vars['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
	$result = curl_exec($ch);
	echo curl_error($ch);
curl_close ($ch);

 

I can never connect.  I always get the error: Failed to connect to ...  IP number 1: Permission denied

 

Anyone have any ideas for me?  Thanks in advance.

I was just doing an internal ssl test an always got an error (but not that one).  I finally got it to work by doing this:

 

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, FALSE);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);

Thanks, but it's still not working...This is an 'external' ssl test, so it seems much more complicated...Any other help would be appreciated.
