Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=79004&edit=1 ID: 79004 User updated by: divinity76 at gmail dot com Reported by: divinity76 at gmail dot com Summary: CURLFile's 3rd argument doesn't honor emptystring Status: Open Type: Bug -Package: Unknown/Other Function +Package: cURL related Operating System: Ubuntu 18.04 PHP Version: 7.2.26 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: change to curl-related (couldn't find "curl related" when creating the issue for some reason) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-12-20 00:12:28] divinity76 at gmail dot com Description: ------------ if you give CURLFile's an empty string as the third argument, it will in fact swap out the empty string with the first argument! that makes porting this curl command rather difficult: curl -F "uploadManifest={json};type=application/json" http://127.0.0.1:9999/ i guess it's debatable weather emptystring should remove the filename header entirely (like CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER does, for example to remove libcurl-generated "Expect: 100-continue" headers, set CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER=>array("Except: "), and the Expect header won't be generated at all), or if it should literally send filename="" (but my personal opinion is that it should work the same as CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, eg remove the filename header entirely), but whatever the right action is, it's certainly not the current action of replacing it with the on-disk file-location, and that's what it's currently doing. (maybe that would be ok if argument 3 is null, i don't know, but it's not appropriate if the 3rd argument is emptystring, the programmer specifically asked for an empty filename, and now doesn't get one.) Test script: --------------- <?php $stupid_workaround_fileh = tmpfile(); $stupid_workaround_filef = stream_get_meta_data($stupid_workaround_fileh)['uri']; fwrite($stupid_workaround_fileh,"{json}"); $ch=curl_init(); curl_setopt_array($ch, array( CURLOPT_URL => "http://127.0.0.1:9999/", CURLOPT_POST => 1, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => array( 'uploadManifest' => new CURLFile($stupid_workaround_filef, 'application/json', '') ) )); curl_exec($ch); Expected result: ---------------- POST / HTTP/1.1 Host: 127.0.0.1:9999 Accept: */* Content-Length: 186 Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=------------------------2e0011350c342f21 --------------------------2e0011350c342f21 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="uploadManifest" Content-Type: application/json {json} --------------------------2e0011350c342f21-- Actual result: -------------- POST / HTTP/1.1 Host: 127.0.0.1:9999 Accept: */* Content-Length: 214 Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=------------------------2e0011350c342f21 --------------------------2e0011350c342f21 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="uploadManifest"; filename="/tmp/phpSh32lX" Content-Type: application/json {json} --------------------------2e0011350c342f21-- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=79004&edit=1
