I want to make HTTPS request through PHP to a server and get the response.

something similar to this ruby code

  http = Net::HTTP.new("www.example.com", 443)

  http.use_ssl = true

  path = "uri"

  resp, data = http.get(path, nil)

Thanks

To open HTTPS stream I could only work it out using both HTTP and SSL context options…

Thus something like:

<?php
$postdata = http_build_query(
    array(
        'var1' => 'some content',
        'var2' => 'doh'
    )
);

$opts = array(
    'ssl' => array(
        'verify_peer' => false,
        'verify_peername' => false
        // Instead ideally use
        // 'cafile' => 'path Certificate Authority file on local filesystem'
    ),
    'http' => array(
        'method' => 'POST',
        'header' => 
            'Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded'."\r\n".
            ''
        'content' => $postdata
    )
);

$context = stream_context_create($opts);

$result = file_get_contents('https://example.com/submit.php', false, $context);

// A Good friend
var_dump($http_response_header);
?>
