I have written the following code but found the error "Could not connect to host", I am unable to understand why this message is showing. I am giving my code snippet here:

Code: Select all

$ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://24.113.250.119/localvocal/index.aspx");
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1 );
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,0);
	
    $result = curl_exec ($ch);
	if (empty($ret))
	{
    	// some kind of an error happened
    	die(curl_error($ch));
    	curl_close($ch); // close cURL handler
	}
	else 
	{
			$info = curl_getinfo($ch);
			curl_close($ch); // close cURL handler
		
			if (empty($info['http_code'])) {
					die("No HTTP code was returned"); 
			} else {
				// load the HTTP codes
				$http_codes = parse_ini_file("https://24.113.250.119/localvocal/index.aspx");
				
				echo "The server responded: <br />";
				echo $info['http_code'] . " " . $http_codes[$info['http_code']];
			}
		
	}
Also the URL is provided here is supposed to return an XML file which is not returning now since the curl could not connect to the host. Again if anyone of you has any alternative way of posting a stream of data without a form beside Curl, please provide me.

Thanx,
Mou

Try opening that in your browser. The server is up (via pings), but is not accepting connections from 443 (SSL port), hence why your PHP code would say it is unable to connect.
