using file() or filerad() over SSL ?

[molat3000]

Hello!

I'm trying to get a contents of a page via file() function, but the problem is that the page is https not http! So I get an error: "...did you forget wrapper..."...

Now, I know php shoud be compiled with ssl option. But I am a newbie in this area (making php.exe) - I just use precomipled one :rolleyes:

So: is there a place to download win32 (already made) exe with ssl support?

Is there anything else needed beside that for https file retrieve to work? Do I need to install OpenSSL (0.9.x)? - In other words: the easiest way to access https pages (in scripts) with get method of transfering data.

Hope someone can help me out.

Regards!

Anyone, please...

Can someone share win32 exe with ssl compiled support?

Or maybe link to (detailed) instructions on how to compile with: --with-openssl[=DIR] as suggested in php.net online manuals on openssl support. I can't find the instructions.
