The code is fine as is. The problem is PHP needs to be built with 
SSL support and the php installation on dlang.org wasn't. The 
only person who can fix this is Jan, I believe.

The error message it gave until I switched it back to http was:

"Unable to find the wrapper "https" - did you forget to enable it 
when you configured PHP?"
