WordPress spellcheck error/problem

Are you getting this:

Error response: <br /> <b>Warning</b>: fsockopen() [<a href='function.fsockopen'>function.fsockopen</a>]: unable to connect to ssl://www.google.com:443 (Unable to find the socket transport &quot;ssl&quot; - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP?) in <b>D:\websites\*******\wp-includes\js\tinymce\plugins\spellchecker\classes\GoogleSpell.php</b> on line <b>86</b><br /> Could not open SSL connection to google.{"id":null,"result":[],"error":null?

There is a way hot to solve it: enable the php_curl extension in your php.ini. Just delete the “;” (semicolon) in front of this line: ;extension=php_curl.dll and you’re done. WordPress will now be able to check your spelling and suggest correct alternatives!

Any problems let me know.

BTW – it has nothing to do with any other library, simply just php_curl.dll library.
