Brad Roberts is trying to switch bugzilla to use https, which breaks https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dlang.org/blob/master/fetch-issue-cnt.php. He's not a PHP guy so he wouldn't know how to fix it. Could I trust one of our contributors to take on this task?

Thanks,

Andrei

The code is fine as is. The problem is PHP needs to be built with SSL support and the php installation on dlang.org wasn't. The only person who can fix this is Jan, I believe.

The error message it gave until I switched it back to http was:

"Unable to find the wrapper "https" - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP?"

I pointed you to a url that contains a couple excellent answers this morning:

    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1975461/file-get-contents-with-https

From that page, the primary problem is the php install on dlang.org's webserver lacks either configuration or a php extension and it's configuration:

Add this to the php config file:

    extension=php_openssl.dll
    allow_url_fopen = On

Alternately, if the curl extension is installed, it looks like this code would be an alternative implementation:

function getSslPage($url) {
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, $url);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
    $result = curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);
    return $result;
}

But the community doesn't have access to the server, so the best anyone external can do is provide this sort of data or setup an external proxy server, which is a horrible solution.

Specifically, you need to enable the OpenSSL plugin, if you're using a copy of php installed from a package manager, it is typically in a separate package, and, depending on the distro, will enable itself when you install it. Once that is enabled, the code will work perfectly.

Just noticed: on the index page for digitalmars.D.bugs in section "Also via" link to bugzilla leads to unencrypted site.
