Openning a HTTPS connection

[Jack]

Hi
I have a page which I am trying to authenticate. When a visitor comes,
I check to see if a $ticket variable is set or not. if it is not, I
redirect the user to a third party site. Once the user gets
authenticated there, he/she is redirected back to me along with a
ticket number. I then need to open a HTTPS connection back to the
server and send two parameters which in return I get the user's
username. Is there way of doing this without installing openssl on the
server. if so how.
Thanks

J

No. If you want to open an HTTPS connection, you need OpenSSL.

Won't work without SSL.

J,

No, you need to encrypt and decrypt on both ends of the communications.
So you need openssl (or something equivalent) on both ends to handle
the encryption/decryption.
