#29535 [NEW]: CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER not maintained when URL is switched

From: mark_connolly at acm dot org Operating system: Linux RedHat 9.0 PHP version: 4.3.7 PHP Bug Type: cURL related Bug description: CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER not maintained when URL is switched Description: ------------ CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER is set to 1 for all processes. String response is properly returned. Target http site changed to new target https site. String response is properly returned. Target is changed back to http site. Boolean true (1) is returned for each invocation to the http site. Target is changed back to https site. String response is properly returned. Reproduce code: --------------- if (GATEWAY_MODE_PROD) { $gatewayProvider = "https://..."; } else { $gatewayProvider = "http://..."; } $urlPostFields = "postStringCreatedEarlier"; $curlReq = curl_init($gatewayProvider); curl_setopt($curlReq, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); curl_setopt($curlReq, CURLOPT_REFERER, GATEWAY_REFERER); curl_setopt($curlReq, CURLOPT_POST, 1); curl_setopt($curlReq, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0); curl_setopt($curlReq, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 0); curl_setopt($curlReq, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, 1); curl_setopt($curlReq, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, CONNECTION_TIMEOUT); curl_setopt($curlReq, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $urlPostFields); $curlResp = curl_exec($curlReq); Expected result: ---------------- The expected result is to always see the string response. Actual result: -------------- When starting at !GATEWAY_MODE_PROD and switching to GATEWAY_MODE_PROD, expected response is returned. Switching again back to !GATEWAY_MODE_PROD causes the boolean response to be returned rather than the string response. Switching again back to GATEWAY_MODE_PROD returns the expected string result. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=29535&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29535&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29535&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29535&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29535&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29535&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29535&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29535&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29535&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29535&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29535&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29535&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29535&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29535&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29535&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29535&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29535&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29535&r=float
