Updated to macOS Sierra 10.12.4

The problem is in new PHP Version in macOS Sierra. They changed the way it works with certificates.

I would suggest a small changes in the accepted answer to make things explicit.

You have to setup path to entrust_2048_ca.cer and other parameters during creation of the stream context like

$streamContext = stream_context_create([
        'ssl' => [
            'verify_peer'      => true,
            'verify_peer_name' => true,
            'cafile'           => '/path/to/bundle/entrust_2048_ca.cer',
        ]
    ]);
