Curl Cookie Headers

Greetings,
I'm trying to download file to my server using curl but I am unable to get it working like I want possibly for the reason that cookie header is not sent correctly.

here's my code:

  
    $head .= "Cookie: user=xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx";
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'Mozilla/ Firefox 2.0.0.11, ProductSub: 20071127, RV version: 1.8.1.11');          
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $out);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $head);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $file);

PHP:

its downloading html page while it should be downloading the file

 

Try:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIE, 'user=xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx');

PHP:

EDIT:

Your version could possibly work too. There's a small error:

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $head);

PHP:

It should be $ch, not $curl.

 

Great, its working thanks
but I face another problem now its redirecting after accepting the cookie variables to other link and the file ends up as 300byte redirection headers

 

Add this:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);

PHP:

 

Still gives 302 Moved header file

 

Hm, can you post your full code? And can you post the exact output you get?

 

the code:

<?php   get_rapidshare("http://rapidshare.com/files/86205767/Pro_PHP_XML_and_Web_Services.rar", "/", "xyz3.rar");

function get_rapidshare($file, $path, $filename)
{
    echo "<br>Attempting message download for $file<br>";
    $out = fopen($filename, 'wb');

    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true); //like you told
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'Mozilla/ Firefox 2.0.0.11, ProductSub: 20071127, RV version: 1.8.1.11');          
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $out);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIE, 'user=xxxx-xxxx');
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $file);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
    curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1); 
    curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);

}
?>

PHP:

here's what I get
