HTTP_REQUEST for a secure URL - not working

    If you copy this URL into a web browser:

    https://spgtest.hypercom.com/SmartPayments/transact2.asmx

    You get the page loaded. I would have expected my php script here to echo back at least something:

    <?php
    require_once 'HTTP/Request.php';
    $req - new HTTP_Request("https://spgtest.hypercom.com/SmartPayments/transact2.asmx");
    $req->sendRequest();
    $response = $req->getResponseBody();
    echo "$response\n";
    ?>

    The above scripts works find using a different URL with http verses https, so I think there's some differences in a secure request call, but I can't seem to get a response from any URL beginning with https (secure). Replacing the "https" with "http" causes the browser to hang, as does my script, so at least that is consistent. Can anyone tell me what is not correct about my logic/syntax above? I just can't find any good samples/examples/info on the web about what my possible problem(s) could be.

    Well for one HTTP is on port 80 by default and HTTPS is on 443 by default so I don't know think the HTTP site would respond to a request on post 443.

    For me, it looks like a simple syntax error.

    Replace
    $req - new HTTP_Request("https://spgtest.hypercom.com/SmartPayments/transact2.asmx");
    PHP:
    with

    $req = & new HTTP_Request("https://spgtest.hypercom.com/SmartPayments/transact2.asmx");
    PHP:
