Description:
------------
The problem was already reported in bug #47791 but the bug was closed as Bogus. This is also probably related to bug #45016.
When trying to establish SSL connection the "SSL: connection timeout" error is raised _immediately_ regardless of timeout specified.
You can try to access the script running on PHP 4.4.9
http://iron.hosting.lv/ssl.php - that produces correct result - an XML fragment
and PHP 5.2.10
http://iron-php5.hosting.lv/ssl.php
which immediately prints (0).

Stracing the process shows that connection is established and initial SSL negotiation packet is sent, but then it waits less than a second for the reply (which is not arriving in such short time), then connection is closed.

I believe the problem appeared after 5.2.6, and definitely present in 5.2.9.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$fp = fsockopen("ssl://polise.if.lv" , 443, $errno, $errstr, 30);
if (!$fp) {
    echo "$errstr ($errno)<br />\n";
} else {
    $out = "GET /PartnerWS/OCTA/PArtner/PremiumCalculator.asmx?WSDL HTTP/1.1\r\n";
    $out .= "Host: polise.if.lv\r\n";
    $out .= "Connection: Close\r\n\r\n";
    fwrite($fp, $out);
    while (!feof($fp)) {
        echo fgets($fp, 128);
    }
    fclose($fp);
}
?>

Expected result:
----------------
XML fragment fetched from remote server

Actual result:
--------------
(0)
