Bug #75829 [NEW]: cURL and file_get_contents does not work with URL contanining special character

From: marco dot marsala at live dot it Operating system: both Ubuntu and Windows PHP version: 7.2.1 Package: URL related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:cURL and file_get_contents does not work with URL contanining special character Description: ------------ cURL and file_get_contents does not work with URL contanining special characters (for example: accented letters, quotes). The URL sent to the remote server is badly encoded; special characters should be encoded as urlencode() would, like any modern web browser does. Test script: --------------- $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://www.astegiudiziarie.it/vendita-asta-appartamento-genova-via-san-giovanni-d'acri-14-1360824"); echo curl_exec($ch); // got server error page echo file_get_contents("https://www.astegiudiziarie.it/vendita-asta-appartamento-genova-via-san-giovanni-d'acri-14-1360824"); // got server error page // my function to fix encoding function urlencode_parts($url) { $parts = parse_url($url); $parts['path'] = implode('/', array_map('urlencode', explode('/', $parts['path']))); $url = new \http\Url($parts); return $url->toString(); } $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, urlencode_parts("https://www.astegiudiziarie.it/vendita-asta-appartamento-genova-via-san-giovanni-d'acri-14-1360824")); echo curl_exec($ch); // now ok echo file_get_contents(urlencode_parts("https://www.astegiudiziarie.it/vendita-asta-appartamento-genova-via-san-giovanni-d'acri-14-1360824")); // now ok Expected result: ---------------- The script should download the same page you can see with a web browser. Actual result: -------------- The server replies with a server error page. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=75829&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75829&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75829&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75829&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75829&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75829&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75829&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75829&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75829&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75829&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75829&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75829&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75829&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75829&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75829&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75829&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75829&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75829&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75829&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75829&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75829&r=mysqlcfg
