Https Source grabber??

Anon

Does anyone know how to grab source code from a https:// address?

I can get it to work with a normal http:// address but if i try a https:// it doesnt work.

The addresss is like:
https://www.******.co.uk:8334/folder/file.php?var1=this&var2=this

i need to grab the source code from it so i can pick out the bits i want.

Thanks

How do you do it with basic http://??? Ive been wanting to know this for ages!

To my knowledge (and from PHPs manual, fopen()) https is not supported.

The best trick I can give you is to install lynx-ssl and use exec(), system(), passthru() or similar to retrieve the html code of the page.

As far as I know, the CURL extensions are able to do this. See PHP manual chapter XI. The bad thing is that they need to be compiled in.
Or you could use the curl binary and call it via PHP's system calls exec(), system(), passthru()
