Re: Problems with Curl and POST

Hi Richard, I am using the same script. And it is using the CURLOPT_POST. - mb On 4/16/07, Richard Lynch <ceo@l-i-e.com> wrote:

HEAD is just like GET, only it gets just the headers (hence the name) usually to see if the document has changed according to LastModified: before doing a full-blown GET. There shouldn't be a HEAD done before a POST... Are you sure you are doing a CURLOPT_POST and not CURLOPT_GET...?

I've managed to test it fine but when I use real data to feed the curl it gives me strange results. When I check the logs of the remote web server one thing that alarms me is that with test data I see A.B.C.D - - [16/Apr/2007:17:41:53 -0400] "POST /service.php HTTP/1.1" 200 61 with real data (using the same script) A.B.C.D - - [16/Apr/2007:17:48:55 -0400] "HEAD /service.php HTTP/1.1" 200 - After reading the user contributed notes I found that it must be related with encoding. But even if I use the suggested code

$o="";                foreach ($post_data as $k=>$v)
                {                        $o.=
"$k=".utf8_encode($v)."&";                }
                $post_data=substr($o,0,-1);

                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_data);

I get the same results. Any tips? php 5.0.4 -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want? I want you to buy a CD from some indie artist. http://cdbaby.com/browse/from/lynch Yeah, I get a buck. So?
