Can't use file_get_contents on https://api.facebook.com - php

Question

I am trying to get some information using https://api.facebook.com
The following works just fine: (notice graph.facebook.com)
$q = "https://graph.facebook.com/$params".$sep."access_token=$access_token";
$response = json_decode(file_get_contents($q),true);
But
$q = "https://api.facebook.com/$params".$sep."access_token=$access_token";
$response = json_decode(file_get_contents($q),true);
Just does not work. I've tried curl, but I keep getting Method Not Implemented
Following code:
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 30);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$url = "https://api.facebook.com/$params".$sep."access_token=$access_token";
echo $url;
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "GET");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
echo curl_exec($ch);
echo curl_errno($ch);
curl_close ($ch);
Any ideas?

Such a silly mistake. I post the working example:
The call:
$status = $fb->api("method/fql.query?query=".urlencode("SELECT url FROM url_like WHERE user_id = $ID")."",$access_token);
The class:
class fb
{
public function api($params, $access_token)
{
try
{
$q = "https://api.facebook.com/$params?format=json-strings&access_token=$access_token";
$response = json_decode(file_get_contents($q),true);
if ($response->error->message != null)
throw new Exception($response->error->message);
else
return $response;
}
catch (Exception $e)
{
return ("<b>Error:</b> " . $e->getMessage());
}
}
}
For everyone who don't want to use the facebook php sdk.
