libgmailer for PHP

I'm using the cvs version to try to get my contacts

Here's the script

<?php
require("libgmailer.php");
$gm = new GMailer();
$D_FILE="debug.log";
$D_ON=true;
$gmail_acc = "acc";
$gmail_pwd = "pwd";
$my_timezone = -6;

$gm->setLoginInfo($gmail_acc, $gmail_pwd, $my_timezone);
if ($gm->connect()) {
echo "status ".$gm->lastActionStatus()."<br>\n";
$gm->fetchBox(GM_CONTACT, "all", 0);
echo "status ".$gm->lastActionStatus()."<br>\n";
$snapshot = $gm->getSnapshot(GM_CONTACT);
var_dump($snapshot);
echo "status ".$gm->lastActionStatus()."<br>\n";
if (!empty($snapshot->contacts)) {
echo "Your frequently used addresses:<br>\n";
foreach ($snapshot->contacts as $item) {
echo "Name: " . $item["name"] . " Email: " . $item["email"] . "\n";
}
}
} else {
echo "unable to connect ".$gmailer->lastActionStatus()."\n";
}

var_dump($_SESSION);
?>

The log says
<?php /** FAILED to read id_key from server. **/ ?>

and the var_dump of the snapshot says
object(GMailSnapshot)[2]
public 'created' => int 0
public 'snapshot_error' => string 'Invalid response from Gmail (empty)' (length=35)

I tried a couple patches
