Connection broken after forced https

[Morecoffee]

I have been using phrets.php for years, version 1.0rc2. Unfortunately it stopped working after the Resy servers that it connects to forced an HTTPS connection. I have been using HTTPS for quite a while and it was working fine... Apparently the only change on the Rets server was they are not allowing non secure connections any longer. Whatever they did it has broken my connection in the script I use for downloading images. Here is the error I get: + Not connected:
Array ( [type] => http [code] => 0 [text] => )

Anyone have a quick fix? Thanks so much
