Working with SS API SSL Error

J.averbuch!

I am trying to access my smart sheet from a php program via the API. Every time I run the program I get the following error, any idea why and how to fix it? (Bearer is my token)

Error:Unknown SSL protocol error in connection to api.smartsheet.com:443

<?php

$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://api.smartsheet.com/2.0/sheets/xxxxxxxxxxxxx");

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, "TRUE");

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "GET");

$headers = array();

$headers[] = "Authorization: Bearer xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);

$result = curl_exec($ch);

if (curl_errno($ch)) {

    echo 'Error:' . curl_error($ch);

}

curl_close ($ch);

?>

Hello,

This is appears to be an error caused by a malformed PHP request and not from the Smartsheet API. In researching this error, I found this StackOverflow post from 2014. It is pretty old but refers to a bug that is marked as fixed: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20988782/curl-unknown-ssl-protocol-error-in-connection-error-in-server-but-works-on-lo#comment73382895_21022319.

This might lead to in the right direction. 

If you do receive an error from the Smartsheet API, please email it to us at api@smartsheet.com and include the refId string and we will be happy to assist you.

Hope this helps!
