Yes, this was my post :) And still noone has given an answer. :(
I've been round and about almost every forum and php site i could find,
but it looks like nobody knows how to do it. %(
The only ones I know of that have the answer is Idaya.
And indeed, cURL does support SSL connections and you can even
set a certificate, but I can't get a connection working and
even than: cURL needs a URL and always makes HTTP connections
so that isn't going to work.
