User Response:
While working on #5865, you could also add generic SSL socket support
to fsockopen,
something like
fsockopen("ssl://example.com", ...)
don't forget to add support for client certificates/keys, including
passing the password
to unlock 'em (ok, this would probably require a completely new
function).
for connecting to a single server, one solution is running a stunnel
daemon:
stunnel -c -d 127.0.0.1:1000 -r example.com:123 -p /certs/blah.pem
and then fsockopen()ing to that port;
however, this is both a security problem (anyone on the machine can
connect to that port)
and useless, if one wishes to connect to a host that is not known in
advance.
another option would be to allow php to talk to exec'd processes
(hopefully stunnel works
this way; it doesn't when piped), but this requires an extra process
per request which is
a resource hog. and, well, this is all in openssl already, so ...

reopened as the report clearly stated that curl
was not the desired option ...

You can use PHP's built-in CURL support in the latest CVS.

I would love to see fopen can "talk" to a SSL enabled server. This
feature is crucial for server-to-server secure
communication/automation. Currently I use curl to acheive this. Curl is
a ~1 MB beast, obviously this creates considerable startup costs.
