 * I am testing the plugin with both quoted and unquoted samples shortcakes:
 *     ```
       [pmid-refs key=smith]
       [pmid-refs key="smith"]
       ```
   
 * However, I receive an SSL connection error.
 *     ```

 * This looks like php may not have the openssl extension enabled. Can you test 
   that? What’s your setup?

 * That was it. This was a local dev environment without the extension enabled. 
   Thank you for the quick reply.
