curl error : 52 - help

Hi,

Please provide any help on below problem.

Problem :
-----------

Please find attached the log trace for the steps through "Browser" and same through "PHP+libcurl" scripts and also the "libcurl script" for this.

Below error occurs during the php-libcurl scripts execution.I am able to login to the website perform all following actions ("GET"/"POST")until the below step where i get this error.

Details of the Error:
======================

cURL error number :52
cURL error:error Empty reply from server* Closing connection #0 { which means, "Nothing was returned from the server "}

As seen in the attached trace :-

1) The Request is same as Browser Request
2) There is a correct redirection by server to “GET” "https://abc.def.ghi/ABC/Upload.asp?pqr=2"

But instead of “Getting https://abc.def.ghi/ABC/Upload.asp?pqr=2” there is error as mentioned above

a)Is it because web browsers always work slower than the curl?
b)Is it that test.php takes longer time to run and the curl process returns before it finishes?
If so, how can we delay the curl execution-time?
c)Is it a problem at server - end? unfortunately, i donot have access to the server logs.

Please provide any help / suggestion if someone had this problem.

Thanks in advance,
LP

Here's the 'Script' :
--------------------

echo " ENTER #######";

//POSTING to https://abc.def.ghi/ABC/Upload.asp?pqr=1
$URL = "https://abc.def.ghi/ABC/Upload.asp?pqr=1";
$reffer ="https://abc.def.ghi/ABC/Upload.asp?frompage=fromaspnet.asp";
$POSTFIELDS="txtLines=0&optType=1&Delimiter=%2C&txtDelimiter=&Qualifier=%22&txtQualifier=&cmdSubmit.x=54&cmdSubmit.y=20";

$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSLVERSION,2);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$URL);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $agent);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, $reffer);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $cookie_file_path);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $cookie_file_path);

//output to file
$fp = fopen ($file, "w");
curl_setopt ($ch , CURLOPT_FILE, $fp);

//execute
$result =curl_exec ($ch );

// print errors
print_r(curl_getinfo($ch));
echo "\n\ncURL error number:" .curl_errno($ch);
echo "\n\ncURL error:" . curl_error($ch);

//close resources
curl_close ($ch );
fclose ($fp);

echo "EXIT #######";

This is typically because the server is being stupid. It should never just not 
reply anything when using HTTP.

They're not. Your example shows the browser NOT following the redirect while 
your libcurl request did, so of course the browser didn't find the problem 
with the target URL since it didn't get it...

Also, you didn't mention what libcurl version you use, on what operating 
system it runs or if you can make this work with the command line tool.

Re: curl error : 52 - help

Hi Dan,

The request sent by the browser as well as the libcurl script is only POST /ABC/Upload.asp?pqr=1 HTTP/1.1
The next step in both cases, involves a redirection and GET /ABC/Upload.asp?pqr=2 HTTP/1.1

So both the requests are same.I have attached the redirection and GET in case of browser { which was missed in the previous message }also for your reference.

Please also find the details :

- Version & OS :- libcurl version 7.15.3 and OS Windows XP 2000, Also tried with libcurl version 7.15.4 { gives the same problem }
- command line url cannot be used in this application as it involves regular expression usage for (Results display using pagination) which i do using PHP reg ex functions.

Please find the correct trace :

Cookie - Unix works, Windows doesn't

Hi,

I'm using one of your example scripts to get me started with curl and am experiencing a problem I can't make head or tails of. I searched this list and the web, but found nothing.

I updated the ebay-login script and it's working fine on my (commercial) unix server, but not on my private windows server. The problem seems to lie in writing information to the cookie, as unix gives me 6 lines, but windows only 4, using the exact same script. It should be in step 1, as the line-difference already occured when I commented out step 2. The entire script also works on windows when I copy the "step 1" contents of the unix-cookie to the windows-cookie.

I've posted all info that I thought could help below, and would appreciate it very much if anyone could shine some light on this as I would like to run the final project (which actually will use some of this) one my windows server.

Thank you, Marten

If I were you I'd start with making sure they both run the same libcurl 
version (and a much newer one than the ones you use)...

I tried running PHP 5.1.6 with build in libcurl 7.14.0 on both linux and windows, but do dice.
Some more searching yielded a solution though:

from: http://www.dinke.net/blog/2006/08/31/curl-http-client/en/

        //hack to make code work on windows
        if(strpos(PHP_OS,"WIN") !== false)
        {
            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
        }

Works like a charm now.

Thank you for looking into it!

page anchors with curl

using libcurl/7.14.0 OpenSSL/0.9.8a zlib/1.2.3 Apache/1.3.12 (Win32) PHP/4.4.4
id thee a way to have a post using curl to scroll to a page anchor?

I did some research and found an issue reported back in curl version 3 about anchors not scrolling.Who knows if that's stilll there.

I want to post some data and have the page scroll to the anchor that I specify in the curl url like so:

$sessions = curl_init();
curl_setopt($sessions,CURLOPT_URL," http://example.com#theanchor");
curl_setopt($sessions, CURLOPT_POST, 1);

global $start_date,$end_date;
$post_fields = "start_date=$start_date";
$post_fields .= "&end_date=$end_date";
curl_setopt($sessions,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$post_fields);
curl_setopt($sessions, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,0);
curl_exec($sessions);

when I do that it posts the data ok but the url shows in the browser without the anchor and doesn't scroll.
Tried all kinds of permutations but can't get it too work. May have to use location plus get instead.

Anyone have any insight? thanks.

"anchors" are used by the browser to scroll down to a particular point in the 
HTML, they have no meaning nor impact on a POST request, and thus libcurl has 
nothing to do with them.

Thanks for the reply Daniel.
Although libcurl may have nothing to do with anchors,
I'd have thought that libcurl would pass on the url in it's entirety whereas it seems to strip the anchor off the end of the url.
Oh well, thanks anyway.

It sends exactly the string you pass in. It doesn't strip off the "anchor" and 
it never has. You can easily verify that yourself.
