Hey Richard,

Thank you so much for the quick reply.

We had already checked that scenario ... we have the post set to ignore the SSL certificate.

Do you know of anything else we could check ... running out of ideas ... we are currently tracking packet dumps and appears that on a network level we are getting a response, but the code no longer displays the information.  Nothing has changed in the code since it has been implemented.

Thanks again.

Ohhh hey ... looks like we figured it out ... the last nss update for Centos 6.5 requires that the apache process be restarted after the update ... it appears that for this update ... the web server does not fully shut down thus breaking curl ... until the restart.

Hope this helps anyone out there with this issue in the near future.  One of the real obscure ones.
