I suggest you use the command line tool to work things out and then you
translate it to PHP when all things work. For two good reasons:

  1 - the curl command line tool has more advanced and capable debugging
      options such as --trace and family

  2 - you'll find more skilled curl tool users than you'll find PHP/CURL
      binding users, so you'll get more help and advice easier

And you're better off doing the PHP speak on the curl-and-php list.

Possibly you want to shut off the host name check of the certificate too, with
CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST.

Uh? https:// requires SSL so your libcurl must've been built with SSL support
or it would understand the URL.

Besides, you should figure out the error code and error message libcurl
returns when it errors, as it will probably describe exactly why it failed.
