Why there's no loaded extension: "openssl" in this php confuguration file?

Question

Why is not the extension included here?
I can't get json from remote domain.
And what are there alternatives for this here?

Hard to say, really. PHP isn't running in a web mode so maybe there's some consideration there. In case you could just send that work to the browser, I've written the code I'm linking below exactly like a web code (just with embedded PHP).

This is a little overview of the PHP wrappers (http, ftp, etc) and a JSON server echo test using http (which looks like your alternative inside PHP).

Bonus, since PHP's running in CLI mode it could take input like the other apps; I also show what it got from the app there. If "looks like your program needs input" were enabled, then it could take JSON as input that way too.
