HTTPS Connections

[NeoPuma]

Hi Guys,
I'm not having much success here! Google returned little help, so I'm trying here to see if i'm a bit more successful here, so any help appreciated!

I'm trying to integrate RPXNow OpenID tool into my site (I'm no good at this stuff), and it reads:

After a successful authentication, RPX redirects the user back to the token_url at your website as specified in step 1. Write some code to handle requests to your token_url, and extract the token parameter.

Make the auth_info API call

HTTP POST to [rpxnow.com...] with the following required parameters:

apiKeyRemoved
tokenUse the token sent to your token_url

Can anyone point me in the right direction to get a HTTPS connection and post the information above there, and read the response into a string?

Thanks in advance

Use curl. It's in the php manual.
