Issue
I am using the VWS - PHP Samples and it works as expected from local PC, but when I uploaded it to the server it is giving me the following error:
POST 999e93717344885fd7c458301a5b00c9 application/json Thu, 11 Sep 2014 08:14:20 GMT /targetsError: Need OpenSSL support for https:// requests
the domain name is https enabled with a certificate from GoDaddy, what is going wrong?
define("SERVER_ACCESS_KEY", "12345678");
define("SERVER_SECRET_KEY", "654321");
define("TARGET_NAME", $campaignname);
define("IMAGE_LOCATION", $directory . '/dispatcher.' . $path_parts['extension']);
$this->load->library('Vuforia/PostNewTarget');
the sample code is SignatureBuilder.php:

when I try to install OpenSSL
yum install php-openssl openssl
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, security
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* base: centos.mirrors.atwab.net
* extras: centos.mirrors.atwab.net

Setting up Install Process
No package php-openssl available.
Package openssl-1.0.1e-16.el6_5.15.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do
I tried this code to see is openssl is available:
if (!extension_loaded('openssl')) {
echo "no openssl extension loaded.";
}
the result is:
no openssl extension loaded.
this is on CentOS - PHP Version 5.2.17
Solution
Error: Need OpenSSL support for https:// requests
This error occurs when HTTP_Request2 does not find ssl in your stream transports list. The OpenSSL PHP extension must be installed in order to use the https stream protocol wrapper.
This has nothing to do with Apache's mod_ssl or whether your site is served via https. It's about PHP connecting to the url "https://vws.vuforia.com" to perform a request.
