cURL error connecting to https

Hi,

I am attepmting to send info to a secure https site using cURL. When I try to do so though, I receive the following error:

7 couldn't connect to host

I am including the following SSL info:

// SSL info
curl_setopt($handle, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
curl_setopt($handle, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 2);
curl_setopt($handle, CURLOPT_CAINFO, "https://www.tt2.co.uk/gateway/includes/intermediate.crt");

so shouldnt really be getting an error. Does anybody know why this is?

All help is appreciated.

Thanks.
