PEAR HTTP_Client class and https requests

[Francisco Montes]

Hi everyone,

After two days of research I am starting to get a bit lost and I was
just wondering if there is not an easy way to achieve what I am after:

Basically, with PHP I want to use the PEAR HTTP_Client class to
retrieve a web page from a remote machine. But using https instead of
http.

When I used http to grab pages from sites it works perfectly well.
However if I try to connect to pages through SSL (https, that is) then
I get blank pages. Not sure if anybody else got this before.

I am using Apache 1.3.29 with PHP 4.3.7, plain and simple ;-)

What do I need to do in order to be able to connect to remote machines
through https?

Thank you very much in advance

You need to compile in OpenSSL support by compiling with the
--with-openssl option.

I'm compiling Apache under Windows though. Where do I specify that option?
