note 84599 added to function.fsockopen

When you try to POST/GET requests via HTTPS over SSL/TLS you should notice this: <?php // preconditions $port = 80 | 443 $host = "www.example.com"; $method = "POST" | "GET"; $contenttype = "text/html" | "text/plain" | "text/xml" | ...; $data = "<something>"; // script if($port == 443) $sslhost = "ssl://".$host; else $sslhost = $host; $fp = fsockopen($sslhost, $port); fputs($fp, "$method $path HTTP/1.1\r\n"); fputs($fp, "Host: $host\r\n"); fputs($fp, "Content-type: $contenttype\r\n"); fputs($fp, "Content-length: ".strlen($data)."\r\n"); fputs($fp, "Connection: close\r\n"); fputs($fp, "\r\n"); ?> The server usually does not understand the HTTP-header "Host: XXX" if you provide it with the trailing "ssl://" used by fsockopen(); If you do it anyway you probably get a HTTP 400 back as response. :-) ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 81.223.54.114 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fsockopen.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/84599 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84599/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84599/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84599/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84599/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84599/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84599/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84599 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/84599 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
