The problem here is probably that curl 7.10 and later tries to verify the
server's certificate against a CA bundle and you don't have that installed or
the server's certificate is self-signed or something.

A good start would be to figure out the error code.

Step two would be to read this: http://curl.haxx.se/lxr/source/SSLCERTS

(If anyone can provide a nice additional wording for PHP folks, I would
indeed be happy to add something to that document.)
