#39611 [NEW]: Use of CURLOPT_NOBODY yields a 404 inexplicably

From: asbo at iserv dot net Operating system: Windows XP Professional PHP version: 5.2.0 PHP Bug Type: cURL related Bug description: Use of CURLOPT_NOBODY yields a 404 inexplicably Description: ------------ I'm running a default PHP 5.2.0 installation on Apache 2.0.55, XP Pro. Using cURL, the introduction of the CURLOPT_NOBODY setting results in cURL receiving a 404 page instead of the actual web page. In my understanding, the NOBODY setting shouldn't change the actual HTTP request at all, and therefore I should the same headers regardless of NOBODY being set or not. It doesn't seem like I'm missing something important -- feel free to correct me. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1384277706451157121'); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_NOBODY, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, false); echo curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); ?> Expected result: ---------------- HTTP/1.1 200 OK Set-Cookie: sloc=en Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Transfer-Encoding: chunked Cache-control: private Date: Fri, 24 Nov 2006 04:41:12 GMT Server: GFE/1.3 <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"><html> (... etc) Actual result: -------------- HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found Set-Cookie: sloc=en Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Length: 141 Cache-control: private Date: Fri, 24 Nov 2006 04:49:49 GMT Server: GFE/1.3 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=39611&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39611&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39611&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39611&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39611&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39611&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39611&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39611&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39611&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39611&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39611&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39611&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39611&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39611&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39611&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39611&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39611&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39611&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39611&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39611&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39611&r=mysqlcfg
