It might be that the site is using sessions/cookies. Have a look at
the header data with firebug.
Not sure if that's the problem, to find out what's really going on, call
echo curl_error($ch);
after curl_exec to find out what went wrong exactly.
If you still don't know how to proceed, paste the result of the
curl_error call in your reply.

I added the cookies to the post array.  I changed php array to
"CACHED"=>array() for the JSON "CACHED":[], and corrected php's null to
NULL.  It is not returning any error.  The browser was showing 'resource
not present' before I added the cookies to the post array, now it just
returns null $result.  Looks like I am transcribing something incorrectly.

I eventually sorted this out.  Solution involved:

POST params needed to be json_encoded
$params=json_encode(array(
"name" => "value"
));

Thanks to 
http://www.lornajane.net/posts/2011/posting-json-data-with-php-curl


curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post);

Also, included headers as array and set application type as json:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
'Content-Type: application/json',
'Content-Length: ' . strlen($post))
);

Set encoding to auto-detect:
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_ENCODING, "");

I'm not sure I entirely understand your question... but here goes:

Yes, you can make your own CRT/KEY/CER files using OpenSSL.
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/openssl.html has some
instructions.

Hope this helps,
