Asterisk integration issues

Hello,

I am a newbie both to the forum and Drupal so please be gentle. If I am in the wrong forum...please forgive.

I am attempting to install the asterisk integration module and get the following error when trying the test connection settings.

warning: fread() [function.fread]: SSL: fatal protocol error in /var/www/includes/common.inc on line 501.

the following is from the common.inc and the "while" line is line 501. SSL is functioning I can get a directory list via browser on the directory where the asterisk_xmlrpc.php file resides. so i am not clear as to what is going on here.

// Fetch response.
$response = '';
while (!feof($fp) && $chunk = fread($fp, 1024)) {
$response .= $chunk;

any info or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Matt
