Fopen and HTTPS

[zyad]

Hi,
I'm trying to do an fopen through an https connection, but I'm getting this error
'Invalid argument'.

Any ideas ??

Yeah, what arguments are you using? I.e. parameters you put into the fopen function.

$fd = fopen ("https://MyIP/admin/aide.html", "r");

fclose ($fd);

I don't think fopen() can do https ... let me just check the docs ... hmm.. [man]fopen[/man] ... list of supported protocols ... https only since PHP4.3.

That's probably your problem. Anything dealing with https needs a load of encryption/decryption code to do the job; that code is obviously a very recent addition to PHP.

As an alternative to a new version of PHP, with the cURL and Open-SSL libraries installed, and PHP configured to use cURL, you can use that instead.

Oh, I think I see the problem, you're using [url]https://[/url] Isn't it meant to be [url]http://[/url] ? Where'd the s come from?
