If you want to connect to a secure server for posting info/reading info, you need to make cURL with the openSSL options. Then the sequence is nearly identical to the previous example (except http_S_://, and possibly add the useragent):

<?php
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"https://example.com");
//some sites only accept your request if your browser looks legit, so send a useragent profile...
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)");
?>
