Bug->Req #77314 [Opn]: When doing a http-post-request with a redirect, the post-data is not sent again

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=77314&edit=1 ID: 77314 Updated by: requinix@php.net Reported by: cyberbeat at gmx dot de Summary: When doing a http-post-request with a redirect, the post-data is not sent again Status: Open -Type: Bug +Type: Feature/Change Request Package: *Network Functions Operating System: Opensuse PHP Version: 7.2.13 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: As far as I know, cURL will not automatically re-POST data to the new URL - you have to opt-into that with the CURLOPT_POSTREDIR flag. Since the pure PHP version operates at a lower level than what the cURL API provides, the equivalent would be checking the response code and repeating the request with the new location.

In such case, the post data should be sent again to the https-url. But the post data seems not to be sent in the second request. With CURL (with follow-location-option) this case is handled as expected. Test script: --------------- <?php $postdata = http_build_query( array( 'var1' => 'some content', 'var2' => 'doh' ) ); $opts = array('http' => array( 'method' => 'POST', 'header' => 'Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded', 'content' => $postdata ) ); $context = stream_context_create($opts); $result = file_get_contents('http://example.com/submit.php', false, $context); ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=77314&edit=1
