here's the curl patch for Godaddy for future reference(s)
$url = 'https://UPS_URL GOES_HERE';
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_VERBOSE,1);
//curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL,true);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE,CURLPROXY_HTTP);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_PROXY,'http://proxy.shr.secureserver.net:3128');
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER,false);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,$url);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_TIMEOUT,120);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);Note: On our shared hosting, any CURL applications that make secure HTTP connections (HTTPS over port 443) need to pass through a proxy server. The address for this proxy server is proxy.shr.secureserver.net and connections must specify the use of port 3128. The code below already includes this information.
