PHP stream_socket_client(): unable to connect to https - php

Question

I've just noticed the new vulnerability discovered in Wordpress and I'm trying to fix it with the following code (but with any success
<?php
$url = 'https://mywebip/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword';
$data = 'user_login=admin&redirect_to=&wp-submit=Get+New+Password';
// use key 'http' even if you send the request to https://...
$options = array(
'http' => array(
'header' => "Host: mailserver\r\nContent-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\nContent-Length: ". strlen($data) ."\r\n",
'method' => 'POST',
'content' => $data,
'ssl'=>array('verify_peer'=>true, 'capath'=>'/etc/ssl/certs')
)
);
$context = stream_context_create($options);
//$result = file_get_contents($url, false, $context);
$fp = stream_socket_client($url, $errno, $errstr, 30);
//stream_socket_enable_crypto($fp, true, STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_SSLv23_CLIENT);
$fp = fopen($url, 'r', false, $context);
if ($fp === FALSE) { /* Handle error */ }
var_dump($result);
?>
The error log I got is just like this:
PHP Warning: stream_socket_client(): unable to connect to https://mywebip/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword (Unable to find the socket transport "https" - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP?) in /home/jorge/Escritorio/joomla.php on line 18
PHP Warning: fopen(): Peer certificate CN=`website` did not match expected CN=`mywebip' in /home/jorge/Escritorio/joomla.php on line 21
PHP Warning: fopen(): Failed to enable crypto in /home/jorge/Escritorio/joomla.php on line 21
PHP Warning: fopen(https://mywebip/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword): failed to open stream: operation failed in /home/jorge/Escritorio/joomla.php on line 21
Where mywebip represents the actual ip that hosts my website and website and mailserver the DNS directions of the services.
Thank you.

Answer 1

Via socket you do not specify a protocol.
http://php.net/stream_socket_client
First parameter:
remote_socket
Address to the socket to connect to.
Adress is only mywebip.
You should use CURL instead.
See http://php.net/manual/en/curl.examples.php
The other problem (with fopen(), which can handle streams with protocols!) is a malformed/wrong certificate issued by your webserver.
Use this service to debug problems with your webservers certificate:
