When attempting to use cURL over https, php returns the 
error: "SSL: couldn't create a context!"

Command-line operation in cURL works without error.

A similar situation was reported, and reportedly fixed, in 
4.1.1 CVS, but it has re-appeared in 4.1.2 release. The 
earlier problem was apparently related to compiling SSL 
into both PHP and cURL; I re-complied PHP without SSL but  
the problem persists.

Any work-arounds will be greatly appreciated.

The problem happens on Linux 2.4.15-pre8, PHP 4.1.2, CURL 7.8.1, openSSL 0.9.6

For me the problem is on a commercial hosted site so I can't recompile or change anything. If you are able to recompile and install things, try getting the latest cURL source release, (7.9.5 as of today). If it still happens with that version of CURL, then add some debug-printf statements into curl/lib/ssluse.c before the call to SSL_CTX_new(req_method) to see what value of req_method is being passed. The context error string is printed out right after this function call.

Thank you for taking the time to report a problem with PHP.
Unfortunately your version of PHP is too old -- the problem
might already be fixed. Please download a new PHP
version from http://www.php.net/downloads.php

If you are able to reproduce the bug with one of the latest
versions of PHP, please change the PHP version on this bug report
to the version you tested and change the status back to "Open".
Again, thank you for your continued support of PHP.
