note 77502 added to ref.curl

FYI, Anyone trying to connect to .NET with CURL to send a simple XML post, pay attention to the following. This will save you hours! There is a previous note that I saw either on this page, or somewhere else on this site that explains the correct way to specify the header option is to create an array, then reference the array from the CURLOPT. ie. Do something like this: // Req. HTTP Header Values $header[] = "Content-type: text/xml"; // Target URL $sendTo = "http://www.blah.com"; // Post Data $post = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>\n<root>\n....etc, etc,"; // Create CURL Connection $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'XtraDoh xAgent'); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $sendTo); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 900); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTIONTIMEOUT, 30); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, false); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $header); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post); Notice the HTTPHEADER, $header above. I have not been able to get .NET to properly read the HTTP header as specified (in this case as text/xml) when using the following: curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type'=>'text/xml')); Although this may work when working with other PHP, IIS, or even PHP, Apache, it does not (at least in my experience) work with .NET, IIS. ---- Server IP: 209.41.74.194 Probable Submitter: 72.193.117.46 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.curl.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/77502 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77502/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77502/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77502/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77502/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77502/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77502/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77502 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/77502 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
