I'm wondering if anyone has experience using CURL and could advise if it's
the best direction for creating a SSL to a payment processing service.

I'm trying to connect an existing PHP form to a payment processing service
called Authorize.net. Using there direct response method requires a Secure
Socket which a thought meant to send from a secure form to their secure
script which didn't work. Here's what I got from their tech support.

"The problem is that you can't send an HTML form POST when using Direct
Response. You must write a script that creates an SSL connection directly
with our server (port 443) and send the information to us through that
connection. I do not know if this is possible through PHP but usually this
is done with PERL, CGI, or ColdFusion. Please refer to the Developer's guide
for more information:

https://secure.authorize.net/docs

Thank you for contacting our customer service group."

I found some info about CURL, http://curl.haxx.se/, and it seems like it
might do the trick. I was wondering if anyone has experience with this a can
confirm that this is the best approach or give me some other direction.

Thanks,
Tom
