title: PHP SOAP cannot connect to an SSL WSDL source
body: <p>Trying to make Soap connection to a https:// WSDL source via PHP/Win32, but keep getting the error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Warning: SoapClient::SoapClient() [soapclient.soapclient]: I/O warning

  </blockquote>
  
  <p>If I try to save the WSDL locally and access it then, the <code>SoapFault-&gt;faultstring</code> property has the message "SSL support is not available in this build".</p>
  
  <p>After some Googling, seems like PHP SOAP cannot connect to a HTTPS source.  HTTP is OK, though.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a workaround for this?  Or is there an alternative SOAP version/module I can install?</p>
