How to test HTTPS CURL in development server?

om — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 01:31:07 +0000

HTTPS is secure HTTP communication based on SSL protocol (HTTP over SSL). Generally all sensitive info (like passwords, financial details, etc.) are sent over this transport. Common example: your gmail login is done through HTTPS channel and different payment gateway.
So here in this deal -

View Code PHP

$postfields = array('field1'=&gt;'value1', 'field2'=&gt;'value2');
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://foo.com');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postFields);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
$result = curl_exec($ch);

CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST is off. This allows you to test the CURL in your dev server without having HTTPS. PHP/Curl will handle the http request.

How to post XML using socket ?

om — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 19:47:35 +0000

I had discussed posting XML over HTTP using CURL in last post. Remember that was first method.
As I had promised on earlier post I would like to share second method with you. That is socket!!
Use this code and send your XML file.

View Code PHP


function postXMLToURL ($server, $path, $xmlDocument) {
$contentLength = strlen($xmlDocument);
$fp = fsockopen($server, 80, $errno, $errstr, 30);
fputs($fp, "POST $path HTTP/1.0rn");
fputs($fp, "Host: $serverrn");
fputs($fp, "Content-Type: text/xmlrn");
fputs($fp, "Content-Length: $contentLengthrn");
fputs($fp, "Connection: closern");
fputs($fp, "rn"); // all headers sent
fputs($fp, $xmlDocument);
$result = '';
while (!feof($fp)) {
$result .= fgets($fp, 128);
}
return $result;
}
 
function getBody ($httpResponse) {
$lines = preg_split('/(rn|r|n)/', $httpResponse);
$responseBody = '';
$lineCount = count($lines);
for ($i = 0; $i < $lineCount; $i++) {
if ($lines[$i] == '') {
break;
}
}
for ($j = $i + 1; $j < $lineCount; $j++) {
$responseBody .= $lines[$j] . "n";
}
return $responseBody;
}
 
$xmlpacket ='

1234567890
lgsoftwares
myapassword
phpmind.com





OGG

';
 
 
$result = postXMLtoURL("www.yourdomain.com", "/path/",$xmlpacket);
 
$responseBody = getBody($result);
 
echo $responseBody;
?>

How to post XML using CURL?

om — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 19:34:33 +0000

Recently I was working in a hotel booking engine and found a couple of methods to post XML to server; I thought this might be good to share with my friends who want to post xml via HTTP POST method.

There are several ways to Send XML requests via HTTP POST.
I am going to show you two ways. Both are very simple and easy.

As first approach I have used a small xml file with CURL.

View Code PHP

 
 
$xml_data =''.
    ''.
        '1234567890'.
        'lgsoftwares'.
        'mypassword'.
        'phpmind.com'.
    ''.
    ''.
        ''.
        ''.
    ''.
''.
'JHM'.
        'OGGSHE'.
        '101009'.
        '101509'.
        '1'.
  ''.  
  '';
 
 
$URL = "https://www.yourwebserver.com/path/";
 
			$ch = curl_init($URL);
			curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_MUTE, 1);
			curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
			curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
			curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
			curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: text/xml'));
			curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "$xml_data");
			curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
			$output = curl_exec($ch);
			curl_close($ch);
 
?>
