In case that you need to read SSL page content from https with curl, this function can help you:

<?php

function get_web_page( $url,$curl_data )
{
    $options = array(
        CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,         // return web page
        CURLOPT_HEADER         => false,        // don't return headers
        CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true,         // follow redirects
        CURLOPT_ENCODING       => "",           // handle all encodings
        CURLOPT_USERAGENT      => "spider",     // who am i
        CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER    => true,         // set referer on redirect
        CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT => 120,          // timeout on connect
        CURLOPT_TIMEOUT        => 120,          // timeout on response
        CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS      => 10,           // stop after 10 redirects
        CURLOPT_POST            => 1,            // i am sending post data
           CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS     => $curl_data,    // this are my post vars
        CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST => 0,            // don't verify ssl
        CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => false,        //
        CURLOPT_VERBOSE        => 1                //
    );

    $ch      = curl_init($url);
    curl_setopt_array($ch,$options);
    $content = curl_exec($ch);
    $err     = curl_errno($ch);
    $errmsg  = curl_error($ch) ;
    $header  = curl_getinfo($ch);
    curl_close($ch);

  //  $header['errno']   = $err;
  //  $header['errmsg']  = $errmsg;
  //  $header['content'] = $content;
    return $header;
}

$curl_data = "var1=60&var2=test";
$url = "https://www.example.com";
$response = get_web_page($url,$curl_data);

print '<pre>';
print_r($response);
