Hi Onema,
I'm unfortunately not familiar with this family of PHP libraries and how
they handle opening HTTP connections using that custom non-standard URI
scheme ("ssl://") -- it might be handling the correct protocol for you
behind the scenes. Error #0 is not an error sent by the Twitter API so it's
likely being sent/interrupted locally within your own machine or a load
balancer or proxy between your server and Twitter API -- likely it would
seem because the protocol is incorrect.
Was there some kind of documentation you were working from when implementing
using these new libraries?
