The firefox plugin won't show anything because PHP isn't running under 
the browser.  cURL will run separate from the browser and not interact 
with your browser.

If you're loading a web page with PHP code, that web page will be 
running on a server somewhere, and that server would be connecting to 
the site.  If you're running PHP as a CLI (Command Line Interface), then 
your computer will be connecting, but you won't see anything in a browser.

What you will need to do is use cURL to request the page, parse the 
response, then send the necessary information back to the server.  On 
some sites it's pretty easy, but others make it very difficult or almost 
impossible by requiring things like javascript generated values, CAPTCHA 
codes, etc.

cURL works fine with https.  The most common problem is not setting cURL 
up to accept the server's certificate (which provides an error message). 
 
http://unitstep.net/blog/2009/05/05/using-curl-in-php-to-access-https-ssltls-protected-sites/ 
has a good description on how to set up cURL to accept the certificate.

Other than setting the proper options in cURL, there really isn't any 
difference in accessing URIs with http or https protocols.

P.S. Please don't top post.  Thanks.
