Hi All

Ok so I have created a CPM that uses cURL to get the http response of a website.  If i call a http site it works fine and I get the response, however as soon as i try and call a https site I always receive curl error 443 connection refused.

I have tried various curl options to get this to work (even using the CA cert) but nothing seems to work, does anyone have any ideas on where I am going wrong ?.  Please see my sample code .
