cURL Error 1: Unsupported protocol: https

Question

All,

I am trying to HTTPS POST a SOAP request via PHP's cURL wrapper methods but keep getting the following cURL error: Error 1: Unsupported protocol: https, Any ideas why this is happening? The target URL is good and I'm able to reach it via commandline.

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$this->apiURL);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
    'Content-type: text/xml;charset=UTF-8',
    'Content-length: '.strlen($SOAPRequest),
    'SOAPAction: ""'
) ); 

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $SOAPRequest);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,true);

$result = curl_exec($ch);

Also, where are you setting the remote certificate to use over https communication? unitstep.net/blog/2009/05/05/… — Sarwar Erfan

First check phpinfo();

If Curl is enabled in PHP as shown in the results of phpinfo() then

The problem could be an extraneous space in the MySQL field containing the URL. The error isn't that the "HTTPS" protocol is unsupported, it is that " HTTPS" (with leading space) is unsupported.

Yeah, that was it - an extra space before HTTPS. Duh... Thanks!

Your PHP was compiled without SSL support.
