SSL problem with https://www.imified.com

I have an IM Bot setup using IMified that has been working until yesterday.

Starting yesterday, the IM Bot began throwing CA cert error 14090086 when my PHP code was attempting to curl to https://www.imified.com.

I found this FAQ article, but it said the problem was on my server side, which doesn’t appear to be the case…
http://help.imified.com/kb/building-imified-bots/ca-cert-error-1409...

Since my PHP code is attempting to curl to https://www.imified.com, I tried hitting that address directly in Firefox. I get a response back from Firefox that “This Connection is Untrusted. You have asked Firefox to connect
securely to www.imified.com, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure. www.imified.com uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is unknown. (Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)”.

I next changed my PHP code to curl to
http://www.imified.com instead of https://www.imified.com, and my IM Bot is now working again.

So it would appear there is a SSL problem on the www.imified.com site.

   Unfortunately, yesterday our SSL certificate expired. We quickly fixed this problem and there should be no issue using SSL address.

   Sorry for the inconvenience .

   I'm still having the problem when attempting to curl to https://www.imified.com, which gives me "ERROR SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed".

   Curling to http://www.imified.com works fine.

   I'm having problems connecting to https://www.imified.com as well. I tried writing code both in Java and .NET from two different servers. The code works well with different HTTPS sites. Can this be fixed?

   Hi there,
   I am experiencing the same issue, but if I try the url = http://www.imified.com then I don't get any response at all. I am also not sure if I am using the right set of parameters, since I find the documentation a bit confusing, so any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

   This is my code:

   $url = 'http://www.imified.com/api/bot/';

   $data = array(

       'botkey' => 'F15D7F92-C0D7-4B89-B15193FF9E6B5BDE',
       'apimethod' => 'send',
       'userkey' => '***@gmail.com',   // or should this simply be 'myname' for a Gtalk user who is receiving the message?
       'msg' => 'test',
       'network' => 'Gtalk',     // Is this necessary for a Gtalk user? should it be removed?
   );
   
   $ch = curl_init();
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, '<myImified-user-email>:<it's password>');      // am I using the right parameters?
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 100);
   $xml = curl_exec($ch);
   
   if (curl_error($ch)) {
       print "ERROR ". curl_error($ch) ."\n<br/>";
   }
   curl_close($ch);
   

   echo $xml; // nothing happens. Blank response.

   Many thanks in advance.

   Hi again,

   just in case anyone finds it useful, I managed to figure out what the problem was.

   The mayor issue was related with the $userkey. I was confused; the explanation can be found here: http://help.imified.com/discussions/problems/45-keeps-getting-inval...

   Secondly, the SSL issue was bypassed by setting:
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);

   Cheers,
