Req #67090 [Opn->Nab]: 16953 post data variable maximum

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=67090&edit=1 ID: 67090 Updated by: ab@php.net Reported by: trevor at ridgebizdev dot com Summary: 16953 post data variable maximum -Status: Open +Status: Not a bug Type: Feature/Change Request Package: HTTP related Operating System: Windows7 PHP Version: 5.4.27 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: @trevor at ridgebizdev dot com it's also ugly to post a half baked snippet like that. I've generated the post data for your example like $postdata4 = str_repeat('x', 42000); ignoring all the undefined variables. Also not using proxy, and this works, though despite warnings.

I think your issue is your proxy or something in the data you send. Please recheck that and post a reliable self enclosed reproduce case. Thanks Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-04-16 23:09:31] trevor at ridgebizdev dot com Good call. Jeff Li at Ficstar took the app from me after about 10 instances of cat and mouse over 3 years. He's got it, so PHP should be able to, as well... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-04-16 20:56:52] aharvey@php.net Are you sure this works at all (from outside PHP)? This sounds and looks like a restriction on the www.budgettruck.com side in terms of the length of the cookie or POST data they'll accept, rather than a PHP restriction — the three methods you've described don't share any code, so they shouldn't all fail in the same way unless it's a server side problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-04-16 20:40:31] trevor at ridgebizdev dot com Description: ------------ Based on the nature of this problem, it's ugly to reduce to a single line of code. When ViewState (a session variable) is over 20k, the PHP request languages (cURL, PECL_HTTP, and file_get_contents()) all fail. Test script: --------------- $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://www.budgettruck.com/Pick-Up-Location.aspx"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, "https://www.budgettruck.com/Pick-Up-Location.aspx"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postdata4); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIE, $cookie_str); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 55); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIESESSION, TRUE); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $header_r); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, TRUE); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla 5.0"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, "localhost"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYPORT,"8888"); $response4 = curl_exec($ch); Expected result: ---------------- $response4 should be the html sourcecode of the "Drop Off Location Page".
