PHP 35: error:14094410:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:sslv3 alert handshake failure

Question

cURL stopped working. I started to get this error (it used work fine till few hours ago).

I am using cURL extension for PHP. I found some solution for curl command l

Answer 1

I know it's a bit outdated problem, but I've got a solution for others:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSLVERSION, 3);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_CIPHER_LIST, 'SSLv3');

Answer 2

Input values :

$params = Array
    (
        "username" => "XXXXXXXXXX",
        "password" => "XXXXXX"
    );

$path ='https://www.XXXXXXXX.com/xx/xxx/format/json/';

Function:

function curlpost($parameters, $path){
     $apiUrl = $path;
     $curl_handle = curl_init();
     curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_URL, $apiUrl);
     curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_BUFFERSIZE, 1024);
     curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
     curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, TRUE);
     curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, TRUE);
     curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_POST, TRUE);
     curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_PROXY, '');
     curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_SSLVERSION, 4);
     curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $parameters);
     $response = curl_exec($curl_handle);

     $content = curl_exec( $curl_handle );
     $err     = curl_errno( $curl_handle );
     $errmsg  = curl_error( $curl_handle );
     $header  = curl_getinfo( $curl_handle );
     curl_close( $curl_handle );

     $header['errno']   = $err;
     $header['errmsg']  = $errmsg;
     $header['content'] = $content;
    curl_close($curl_handle);
     return $header;
 } 

Answer 3

I just change from

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSLVERSION, 3);

to

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSLVERSION, 4);
