The issue still exists when doing HEAD requests to static files. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-02-21 12:19:57] iliaa@php.net Works just fine with latest CVS. <?php $ch = curl_init('http://bugs.php.net/'); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'HEAD'); var_dump(curl_exec($ch)); ?> Results in: tring(154) "HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Sat, 21 Feb 2004 17:19:33 GMT Server: Apache/1.3.28 (Unix) PHP/4.3.4-dev X-Powered-By: PHP/4.3.4-dev Content-Type: text/html " ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-02-21 08:30:19] daniel at haxx dot se I beg to differ. CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER is not an option that libcurl provides, it is an option that the PHP/CURL layer has invented and uses. Thus, we cannot fix this in the curl project. It is not a curl bug! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-02-21 04:10:55] matteo at beccati dot com > Ask the curl author(s). Done. http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=901648&group_id=976&atid=100976 > Not PHP bug (if it even is a bug which I doubt). You're probabiliy correct saying that it's not a PHP bug, but it really seems a wrong cURL behaviour to me. When setting CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER I'm asking curl_exec to return the result instead that outputting it, but result isn't returned, neither printed out. Thank you for your help. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
