how can i securely connect to a url that starts with a [url]https://,[/url] for example, file("https://www.blah.com?query"); doesn't work on secure servers as far as i know, anyone know a different way? are there special settings for fsock?
please, this is very urgent
you would need to compile PHP with openssl support for opening and decrypting data.
