XML Request Using CURL - php

Question

I am using curl library to get the XML but getting error of connection with host. Following is my code, I have just removed the credentials.
$url="https://interface.callport.net:8080/P-RVWR-drcm01-cti/call/2142100570";
$curl_post_data = array(
"query_type" => 'caller_info',
"dnis" => '8883874944',
);
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, base64_encode('webapi#fastfix:color43t'));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $curl_post_data);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
if(curl_errno($ch))
{
echo 'Curl error: ' . curl_error($ch);
}
else
{
echo $result;
}
curl_close($ch);

It's SSL so this usually fixes the problem. cURL does not verify the certificate then.
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
[edit] I solved the problems. First the SSL as described above, then I removed the base64 encoding of the username and password, changed so the data is sent by GET instead of POST and lastly fixed the headers.
$url="https://interface.callport.net:8080/P-RVWR-drcm01-cti/call/2142100570?query_type=caller_info&dnis=8883874944";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/xml'));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, 'webapi#fastfix:color43t');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
