file_get_contents ignoring verify_peer=>false?

Question

file_get_contents with https hosts works just fine, except for a particular host (test api server from some company - ip whitelisted, can\'t give you URL to test). This rule

Answer 1

dont' know if this will actually help, but do try removing the SSL options from your option array.

The reason behind this: according to http://www.php.net/manual/en/context.ssl.php , verify_peer is false by default.

allow_self_signed REQUIRES verify_peer, and is false by default.

From the above, I gather that allow_self_signed probably overrides your setting for verify_peer.

So please try without any option for SSL, or without the allow_self_signed, and let us know if that helped any.
