Getting the same error, this has been the only reference I've been able to find for it.

I think I've figured it out, at least for the issue I was having. I was getting an SSL cert error witch was causing this exception, and had to update my php.ini

basically followed this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21114371/php-curl-error-code-60

then flushed my caches, then it started working. Good Luck!

Where did you get the SSL cert error? I don't see one in the Apache error log.

It's definitely a cert issue. You need older certificates:

While it's true that the exception can be thrown because of cert issues, the exception is not being handled properly because it assumes that there is a response body. In the 8.x-1.x version, the library is bundled with the module, so I created a patch. The attached patch will pass the message from the Exception instead of the body of a potentially null object.

I made a GitHub pull request against the mailchimp-api-php library as well.

Thanks for the patch, @evilehk. I left a comment on your GitHub pull request explaining why we couldn't use that exact solution and what the work-around was.

This should now work fine in the current 8.x-1.x-dev branch.
