Problem with fsockopen and SSL

[Barry <barry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone!

I want to connect to an SSL server but i can't get the content :(

Here is the code i use:
$xml = '<xml><data>Hello!</data></xml>';

function PostToHost($host, $path, $referer, $data_to_send) {
  $fp = fsockopen($host, 443);
  printf("Open!\n");
  fputs($fp, "POST $path HTTP/1.1\r\n\r\n");
  fputs($fp, "Host:$host\r\n");
  fputs($fp, "Referer: $referer\r\n");
  fputs($fp, "Content-type: text/xml\r\n");
  fputs($fp, "Content-length: ". strlen($data_to_send) ."\r\n");
  fputs($fp, "Connection: close\r\n");
  //fputs($fp, $data_to_send);
  printf("Sent!\n");
  while(!feof($fp)) {
      $res .= fgets($fp, 128);
  }
  printf("Done!\n");
  fclose($fp);

  return $res;
}

$data = $xml;

printf("Go!\n");
$x = PostToHost(
              "ssl://easy-demo.tcinternet.de",
              "/hosting/servlet/Dispatcher",
              $GLOBALS["HTTP_REFERER"],
              $data
);
echo $x;

And this is what i get:
Go! Open! Sent! Done! HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request Date: Mon, 09 Jan 2006 
10:28:48 GMT Server: Apache/2.0.53 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.0.53 OpenSSL/0.9.7e 
DAV/2 mod_jk/1.2.1 Content-Length: 363 Connection: close Content-Type: 
text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
Bad Request

Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.
Apache/2.0.53 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.0.53 OpenSSL/0.9.7e DAV/2 mod_jk/1.2.1 
Server at easy-demo.tcinternet.de Port 443

What did the Webserver not understood?

Btw. i can't use cURL because the server has an old version of PHP (><)"

Would be glad if you can help or even have a code how to connect to a 
SSL webserver via fsockopen that works.

Btw the PHP version on server is: PHP Version 4.2.2

Thanks for any help!
