Bug #66109 [NEW]: Option CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST can't be reset to default.

From: datibbaw@php.net Operating system: n/a PHP version: 5.5Git-2013-11-18 (Git) Package: cURL related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Option CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST can't be reset to default. Description: ------------ The documentation of cURL regarding the CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST option mentions the following: > Restore to the internal default by setting this to NULL. Source: http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/curl_easy_setopt.html#CURLOPTCUSTOMREQUEST However, the option value gets cast to a string before the call to curl_easy_setopt() is made, thus changing the NULL value to an empty string. It should be possible to reset the internal behaviour by passing a NULL value, i.e. > curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, NULL); This problem is also highlighted in this SO question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4163865/how-to-reset-curlopt-customrequest Test script: --------------- $ch = curl_init('http://localhost'); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'DELETE'); curl_exec($ch); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, NULL); curl_exec($ch); Expected result: ---------------- One DELETE request followed by one GET request. Actual result: -------------- One DELETE request followed by an invalid request (i.e. / HTTP/1.1) -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=66109&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66109&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66109&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66109&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66109&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66109&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66109&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66109&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66109&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66109&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66109&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66109&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66109&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66109&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66109&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66109&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66109&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66109&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66109&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66109&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66109&r=mysqlcfg
