Using curl in php to emulate browser

[sumits]

Hey guys,

I used "curl" to emulate the browser in php. I am trying to retrieve content from a secure website (for instance https://www.bluetooth.org/) using following php script and using $data to store the retrieved contents.

<?
$ch = curl_init();
$url = "https://www.bluetooth.org/";
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST,0);
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER,0);
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PORT,443);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
print "result is * $data \n"; 
curl_close($ch);
?>

this just doesn't work. $data returns nothing. However if I use
$url = "http://www.google.com";

(substitute https with http)

it works. Does somebody know what's the problem.
The things that are commented in the code above that I've already
tried, but doesn't work.

Thanks

If the [man]openssl[/man] extension is enabled in you PHP configuration, you can just do:

$url = "https://www.bluetooth.org/";
$data = file_get_contents($url);

Tried that and got below error:
Warning: file_get_contents(): URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration

Please let me know what is the problem with what I have posted.
