Comment:

 And yes, according to
 [http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST.html cURL's docs]
 and [https://secure.php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt.php PHP's
 docs], the default value for `CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST` is indeed `2`.

 The boolean `false` value should get cast to `0`, but there may be a bug
 there. @FriendlyGreg are you able to test this on your OS X Server 5
 server using `0` instead of `false` and verify if there's a change in
 behaviour?
