A temporary fix might be to change the following in  
Horde/Socket/Client.php (in PEAR installation directory).

Line 177-ish.  From:

         $this->_stream = @stream_socket_client(
             $conn . $host . ':' . $port,
             $error_number,
             $error_string,
             $timeout
         );

to:

         $this->_stream = @stream_socket_client(
             $conn . $host . ':' . $port,
             $error_number,
             $error_string,
             $timeout,
             STREAM_CLIENT_CONNECT,
             stream_context_create(array(
                 'ssl' => array(
                     'verify_peer' => false,
                     'verify_peer_name' => false,
                  )
             ))
         );

Not tested, so YMMV.
