Bug description:  fopen/fsockopen via HTTPS

The problem I am experiencing is close to, but not exactly, the same
problem in bug #21642. That problem was not fully explained or understood
by me and since the conversation went offline, I may never know what
actually was resolved.

I am trying to access a Outlook Web Access box via SSL (HTTPS). Because
the fsockopen() does not support SSL directly (because it starts in the
clear initially) I tried to use fopen() but because you are not allowed to
write to a HTTP-schemed, fopen()connection, I cannot see how to get around
POST'ing info to the site. 

Am I missing an easier way to do this?

The error I receive with fopen() is: "failed to create stream: HTTP
wrapper does not support writeable connections". Here is a snippit of
code:
----------
$fp = fopen("https://webmail.domain.com";, "w+");
if(! $fp)  {
  echo "Could not connect to server.\n";
  exit;
}

fputs($fp, "POST /exchange/logon.asp HTTP/1.1\r\n");
fputs($fp, ...various HTTP headers and info...);

while(! feof($fp))
  echo fgets($fp, 1024);

fclose($fp);
------------

I know it may not always be necessary to POST data, but I need to know if
I must use Perl (which I can use LWP) for this. I would really like to
stick with PHP because everything else is already written in it.
