HTTP-AUTH and cURL

I am using the following code to access a site that is using basic HTTP-AUTH.

	$ch = curl_init($url);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
	if($user && $pass){
	   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $user . ':' . $pass);
           curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_ANY);
	}
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 30 );
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT,5 );
        $response = curl_exec($ch);

PHP:

All the variables are correct. If I access a page without HTTP-AUTH it works perfectly.

Any input is appreciated. Thanks.

 

Hello,

This site: http://www.higherpass.com/php/tutorials/Using-Curl-To-Query-Remote-Servers/5/
Has neat examples on what you're trying to do.

Thanks for the link. I made my test code cURL and cURL only and started to find my problem.

cURL has yet to work - I had just coded a failsafe use of file_get_contents if cURL didn't work.

I am working behind a proxy, but my proxy settings don't effect anything. Even trying to pull down contents from (http)localhost/folder/file.txt don't even work.

Also - when I include curl_setopt(CURLOPT_USERPWD, 'userassword') the script will not complete. When commented out, the script gets to the end and tells me it failed.

 

(http) = http:// -- not allowed to link yet.

 

Have you tried:

$data = file_get_contents("http://username:password@www.thesite.com/thefile.php");
echo $data;

PHP:

Or using http://www.php.net/fsockopen (using the "Authorization: Basic [base64-data-here]" header)?

userass@ did the trick. Funny I didn't think of that

Thanks!

 

hello, Im stuck with the same problem.
But the thing is, I cant use userass@server.com because my script is so huge and it connects to different server and each server uses different type of auth..

Im facing the same problem.
When I use this:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://$user:$pass@server.com");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER, 1);
// curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_ANY);
// curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $user.':'.$pass);

It works perfectly

But when I uncomment the auth parameters .. It just fails :s (doesnt matter if I include userass@ or not.. it fails everytime)
