<?
$ch = curl_init("https://www.paypal.com");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
$response=curl_exec($ch);
echo $response;

Note: the script in #4 works fine on another server but that server is
linux/apache/php4 this server is windows 2k3 iis6 and php 5.1.2

No, it is not just a matter of copying two DLLs. You need to:

1. make sure you treat CA certs or lack of them properly

2. make sure you use a libcurl built to support HTTPS

3. tell us what libcurl and openssl versions you use and what error code
the
    libcurl function returns if/when it fails

4. show us source code of your attempts
