Hi all. I've been trying to get this code to post to a https url for some time without any remedy. I'll give you all a basic rundown, I have a site that we're trying to generate leads off of, and we have a 3rd party crm system that we use to insert those leads to. This 3rd party CRM service gave me this document: http://www.lifeinsurancesolutions.com/AddLeadWebServiceWholesale.pdf to help me implement their API, but I've done everything and the leads still seem to not be dumping into the CRM.
The URL I'm supposed to post to is: https://www.efinancial.net/addleadservice/addleadservice.asmx/AddLeadWholesale
The test form I'm using is real simple:
<form action="scripts/curlPost.php" name="myform" id="myform" method="post">
<!-- Gender --><input type="text" id="insured_1_gender" name="insured_1_gender" value="F" />
<!-- DOB --><input type="text" id="DOB" name="DOB" value="08/30/1988" />
<!-- Tobacco --><input type="text" id="insured_1_tobacco" name="insured_1_tobacco" value="none" />
<!-- First Name --><input type="text" id="first_name" name="first_name" value="test" />

?>Do you all see anything that I'm doing wrong? When I try to submit this in a regular form post with the url, it works fine and takes me to a page in xml that says <string>Added</string> and the lead gets added into the crm system.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, and I can donate to the person that helps me solve this.
