Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51921&edit=1 ID: 51921 Updated by: degeberg@php.net Reported by: over at silversurfer7 dot de Summary: CURLOPT_USERPWD bogus when use without username -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Type: Bug Package: cURL related Operating System: Debian 5.0 64bit PHP Version: 5.2.13 New Comment: That would be an issue with libcurl then. PHP's curl extension just passes the options to libcurl. See: http://svn.php.net/viewvc/php/php-src/trunk/ext/curl/interface.c?view=markup#l1707 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-05-26 13:51:57] over at silversurfer7 dot de Description: ------------ When using CURLOPT_USERPWD within a cURL request u have to provide both username AND password to work properly. I had a problem with accessing pages with Basicauth and NO username, just a Password. curl then calculates the base64 wrong. As workaround i have to calculate the base64 manually and provide it to curl via the headers option Test script: --------------- $curl = curl_init('http://localhost'); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, ':password'); // no username curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, true); $response = curl_exec($curl); curl_close($curl); Expected result: ---------------- something like this in the request headers: "Authorization: Basic OnRlc3Q=" Actual result: -------------- "Authorization: Basic Og==" (only the ":") ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51921&edit=1
