Answer 1

One important note, the solution mentioned above will not work on local host, you have to upload your code to server and then it will work. I was getting no error, than bad request, the problem was I was using localhost (test.dev,myproject.git). Both solution above work, the solution that uses SSL cert is recommended.

1. Go to https://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html, download the latest cacert.pem. Store is somewhere (not in public folder - but will work regardless)

2. Use this code

".$result; //echo "
Path:".$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/ssl/cacert.pem"; // this is for troubleshooting only ?>

3. Upload the code to live server and test.
