What are the different ways to open an HTTPS connection from within a
script and receive back the response into a variable? I know CURL can do
it, and PHP 4.3 with OpenSSL can use fopen() to do it. Can sockets be
used at all with PHP 4.2 to get the page or maybe a system call to a
simple program to do it? This is going to be on a Win2K machine. Thanks
for any info.

you could try lynx

http://lynx.isc.org/

its a text browser commanly available on Linux stystems but also available for dos/win32

it can retieve and dump to stdout either the raw file or the formatted text - and supports https.
