php curl to self signed certificate url - php

Question

I'm not a php developer! I'm just trying to make php curl work on my localhost, talking to my REST service...
Note: I have a self-signed certificate and I suspect php curl goes to [http://localhost:8443/myapp/oauth/token] instead of [https://localhost:8443/myapp/oauth/token]
But I couldn't figure out why?
Here is my code below;
public function oauth2() {
echo 'Starting...<br/>';
$postargs = array(
'grant_type' => 'password',
'client_id' => 'some-client',
'client_secret' => 'some-secret',
'scope' => 'play,trust',
'username' => 'tester',
'password' => '121212'
);
$url = 'https://localhost:8443/myapp/oauth/token';
try {
$this->load->library('curl');
$curl_handle = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_PORT, 8443);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Accept: application/json'));
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_SSLVERSION, 3);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_NOBODY, true);
//curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
//curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS, 10);
//curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, true);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postargs);
$buffer = curl_exec($curl_handle);
if (curl_errno($curl_handle)) {
echo curl_error($curl_handle).'<br/>';
} else {
//echo curl_getinfo($curl_handle);
curl_close($curl_handle);
echo '<p>'.$buffer.'</p>';
}
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo 'Exception....<br/>';
echo $e->getMessage();
echo $e->getTraceAsString();
die;
}
echo 'Continue...<br/>';
die;
}
Above doesn't work... Why do I get "HTTP/1.1 100 Continue" in the beginning? It shouldn't be like that! Here is the response I see.
HTTP/1.1 100 Continue HTTP/1.1 401
Unauthorized Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1
Cache-Control: no-store
Pragma: no-cache
WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="***/client",

{"error":"unauthorized","error_description":"An Authentication object was not found in the SecurityContext"}
However when I run curl from command line like below it works!
curl -k -i -H "Accept: application/json" -X POST -d "grant_type=password&client_id=some-client&client_secret=some-secret&scope=play,trust&username=tester&password=121212" [https://localhost:8443/myapp/oauth/token]
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Found the problem!
Changing below line worked!
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "grant_type=password&client_id=....&client_secret=....&scope=play,trust&username=tester&password=121212");
Instead of an array it needed a string.
