Description:
------------
I can't get imap_open to connect with SSL. 

I have included the openssl module, but this has made not difference

Reproduce code:
---------------
$mbox = imap_open('{'.$server.':993/imap/ssl/novalidate-cert}INBOX',$name, $pass)

Expected result:
----------------
I was hoping to have secure connections to ssl enabled imap servers. 

Actual result:
--------------
ERROR: Can't open mailbox {imap.cc:993/imap/ssl/novalidate-cert}INBOX: invalid remote specification

I've tried every method stated in the manual e.g.

$mbox = imap_open ("{localhost:993/imap/ssl}INBOX", "user_id", "password");

$mbox = imap_open ("{localhost:993/imap/ssl/novalidate-cert}INBOX", "user_id", "password");

I still recieve the error "invalid remote specification". I have tried it on a number of ssl enabled imap servers, and it does not work on any of them. Is this purely a windows problem? Nothing is stated in http://www.php.net/imap_open to imply that it is. I don't know what other information I can give you other than, it has been tried hundreds of times, and failed hundreds of times.

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

You're doing something wrong since this works just fine with proper script / setup.
