Curl request is failing on the SSL?

[eyestrain]

I have this code\[code\] if(ereg("^(https)",$url)) curl_setopt($curl,CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER,false); // execute, and log the result to curl_put.log $result = curl_exec($curl); $error = curl_error($curl);\[/code\]The error specified is \[code\]SSL read: error:00000000:lib(0):func(0):reason(0), errno 104\[/code\]Any ideas on the cause
