Answer 1

Even after following advice on SO.. You may still have problems with an error like:

error:14077438:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:tlsv1 alert internal error

the problem is with the SSL version. Use the following for version 3

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSLVERSION,3)

I am assuming that u have enabled verification of peer and host as well and are pointing to an actual certificate file. Eg.

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, true); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 2); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CAINFO, getcwd() . "/cacert.pem");
