eh after figuring out how to set my own headers that didnt work either, however using a proxy worked, perhaps my host blocks outgoing secure connections? i dunno
PHP Code:
<?php
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://www.novaworld.com/Players/Stats.aspx?id=33680801261&p=616065");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, '193.194.69.66:8080');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
?>
