From development machine (mac) there is no problem connecting via cURL in PHP to this, but in Ubuntu, I get this error. I've tried on a local machine and on an Amazon AWS instance. I've googled and googled and keep coming up to brick walls. There's no firewall restrictions in place, its a complete mystery. php5-curl IS installed in ubuntu, I just don't have any ideas. I ran this command:
curl -v https://api.rkd.reuters.com/api/2006/05/01/TokenManagement_1.svc/Anonymous
and got this output, no clues whatsoever to a solution. OpenSSL is also installed.
* About to connect() to api.rkd.reuters.com port 443 (#0)

Any ideas welcomed on this
I had the same problem, unfortunately with a host unwilling to upgrade to php 5.5.
I solved it by creating a new class extending php's SoapClient to use cURL:
/**
* New SoapClient class.
* This extends php's SoapClient,
* overriding __doRequest to use cURL to send the SOAP request.
*/
class SoapClientCurl extends SoapClient {
public function __doRequest($request, $location, $action, $version, $one_way = NULL) {
$soap_request = $request;
$header = array(
'Content-type: application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8',
"Accept: text/xml",
"Cache-Control: no-cache",
"Pragma: no-cache",
"SOAPAction: \"$action\"",
"Content-length: " . strlen($soap_request),
);
$soap_do = curl_init();
$url = $location;
$options = array(
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
CURLOPT_HEADER => FALSE,
//CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true,
CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST => 0,
CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => FALSE,
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => TRUE,
//CURLOPT_USERAGENT => 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)',
CURLOPT_VERBOSE => true,
CURLOPT_POST => TRUE,
CURLOPT_URL => $url,
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => $soap_request,
CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => $header,
CURLOPT_FAILONERROR => TRUE,
CURLOPT_SSLVERSION => 3,
);
curl_setopt_array($soap_do, $options);
$output = curl_exec($soap_do);
if ($output === FALSE) {
$err = 'Curl error: ' . curl_error($soap_do);
}
else {
///Operation completed successfully
}
curl_close($soap_do);
// Uncomment the following line to let the parent handle the request.
//return parent::__doRequest($request, $location, $action, $version);
return $output;
}
}
I had this problem, and I fixed it by setting the curl SSL version to version 3
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSLVERSION,3);
Apparently the server started requiring SSL version 3, and this setting caused cURL with SSL to start working again.
Fixed it! It's a known problem with Ubuntu 12.04

-- Cancel that, it just disabled exceptions, this is still not working! HELP!
-- EDIT - HERES HOW I FIXED IT IN THE END!
I upgraded to PHP 5.5 from 5.4.3 and set the following options in my call, which fixed it:
$options = array('ssl_method' => SOAP_SSL_METHOD_SSLv3,'soap_version' => SOAP_1_2);
$sc = new SoapClient('https://my-url.com/call/', $options);
The upgrade was necessary because the constant SOAP_SSL_METHOD_SSLv3 isn't present in PHP versions < 5.5, and unfortunately Ubuntu Server at the time would only allow an upgrade to 5.4.3 through apt-get update php5. I manually installed the later version, and it works fine now.

Incase of WHMCS:
You can contact your host to whitelist the IP address at their end to use their API.
