Protocol https not supported or disabled in libcurl

I am trying to connect to a site via https using curl within php.

<?php
  $ch = curl_init();
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://api-3t.paypal.com/nvp');
  $response = curl_exec($ch);
  curl_close($ch);
?>

curl reuturns with

* Protocol https not supported or disabled in libcurl

however using curl via command line works fine

  # curl https://api-3t.paypal.com/nvp

Answer 1

The curl binary that you are running from the command line is one thing ; but it’s pretty much independent from the curl_*() functions you are calling from PHP.

A feature being available from the curl-command line tool will not (as you have noticed) necessarily be available from PHP.

Here, you’ll probably have to recompile PHP, to make sure it’s compiled with SSL support.
