comment out the CURLOPT_SSLVERSION => 3 line and try again.
They say the SSL v3 is vulnerable (idk much about that, sorry), so many of the servers do not allow it using the v3.
Here is an article if you are interested. https://access.redhat.com/articles/1232123
Please let me know the result after you try it. thanks.
