#45533 [Bgs]: cURL output includes content from redirects when CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION set

ID: 45533 Updated by: pajoye@php.net Reported By: signe at cothlamadh dot net Status: Bogus Bug Type: cURL related Operating System: FreeBSD 7.0 PHP Version: 5.2.6 Assigned To: pajoye New Comment: > Cannot reproduce it with curl 7.15.5 or 7.19.4. Cannot reproduce with php or curl with these versions. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-05-03 22:48:08] pajoye@php.net It seems that you are back and finally provide feedback. > The issue is not the headers, > it's that CONTENT from the redirect is included > in the output, and shouldn't be. Cannot reproduce it with curl 7.15.5 or 7.19.4. PHP does not alter the contents but get it from cURL. Please check with the command line (using the same version than php). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-05-03 22:31:50] signe at cothlamadh dot net You don't understand the issue at all. The issue is not the headers, it's that CONTENT from the redirect is included in the output, and shouldn't be. Please fully read the original description. Output sent from the server during the 3xx response should not be included in the output given to the user. A server response like this: " HTTP/1.1 302 Found Location: http://www.example.com/ This document has moved to http://www.example.com HTTP/1.1 200 Found This is the output from the new document. " Should not yield output from PHP that says: " This document has moved to http://www.example.com This is the output from the new document. " The 302 content is supposed to be ignored. CURL does this properly, but in some circumstances, PHP does NOT. As I detail in the original issue report, the issue is WORSE when headers are turned on, because the content is included between the headers, and is impossible to parse out using the header and body length values returned from curl_getinfo() ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-05-03 22:06:29] pajoye@php.net If you ask to include the header in the output, you will get them. Suppress this line: curl_setopt($cUrl, CURLOPT_HEADER, true); The same applies to the cmd line: curl -i -L http://www.crn.com/rss/cisco/index.xml vs curl -L http://www.crn.com/rss/cisco/index.xml No bug > bogus. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-02-03 05:09:01] satishpalasa at hotmail dot com I am facing the same problem the header content is not recorded. will there be any problem with this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-08-07 01:00:01] php-bugs at lists dot php dot net No feedback was provided for this bug for over a week, so it is being suspended automatically.
