reading https file

Hi,

I have a screencraper application that read webpages with fopen() and then
processes them.

Now I found a https page that does not require a password. However, I cannot
read it with fopen().

My question is: are there other ways to read this page? Or is it technically
impossible?

Thanks,

Wim

I believe in order to use fopen() with secure sockets you need to have PHP
4.3 compiled with SSL support. Check your phpinfo and see if one of these
conditions isn't met.
