HTTPS (SSL) connection using PHP <4.3?

Post by Mike Busch »

Is there a way to establish a secure SSL HTTP connection (HTTPS) from a PHP client program using PHP versions prior to 4.3. I need to establish an SSL connection with the United Parcel Service server to send and receive XML information. I understand that SSL support was added to PHP's socket functions starting with PHP 4.3, but my server is running PHP 4.1 and upgrading to 4.3 is not an option at the present time. Does anyone know of a work-around method of dealing with this? Thanks?
