I pointed you to a url that contains a couple excellent answers this morning:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1975461/file-get-contents-with-https
From that page, the primary problem is the php install on dlang.org's webserver lacks either
configuration or a php extension and it's configuration:
Add this to the php config file:
extension=php_openssl.dll
allow_url_fopen = On
Alternately, if the curl extension is installed, it looks like this code would be an alternative
implementation:
function getSslPage($url) {
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
return $result;
}
But the community doesn't have access to the server, so the best anyone external can do is provide
this sort of data or setup an external proxy server, which is a horrible solution.
