You mean you use the command line client to get a https:// page from a server
running the PHP script?

'curl -V' should also display OpenSSL version.

If it "just sits there", it means something is happening and that https://
support is enabled (otherwise it would exit right away saying that it isn't).

Are you behind some kind of firewall/proxy? Can you run test case 300 and
400? ('cd tests; ./runtests.pl 300') (requires that you have stunnel
installed)

A large amount of people use curl to get https-pages, why I don't think this
is a general curl problem, but more likely a problem with your particular
setup, system, build, network whatever.

What if you use 'curl -v -i', doesn't that provide more information?
