#38340 [Opn->Bgs]: Curl error : 'Empty reply from server'

ID: 38340 Updated by: iliaa@php.net Reported By: manikandan dot r at greynium dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: cURL related PHP Version: 5.1.4 New Comment: Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Due to the volume of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not a bug. The support channels will be able to provide an explanation for you. Thank you for your interest in PHP. The PHP/cURL code works properly, what's happening is that the URl you are trying to access returns a blank page (usually due to scripting error on the server).

Actually i used to pass city name in url dynamically, the issue is its working well with some cities. But there wont be any problem with city names it seems. Hope above explanation help you to give me an solution --- Mani ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-08-05 10:45:25] derick@php.net Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce this bug ourselves. A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>, is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external resources such as databases, etc. If possible, make the script source available online and provide an URL to it here. Try to avoid embedding huge scripts into the report. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-08-05 07:03:51] manikandan dot r at greynium dot com Description: ------------ When i am accessing the remote url through CURL, got the following error: 'Empty reply from server' How to resolve it?
