Re: Using POST and POSTFIELDS with CURL

The problem here is possibly that you are storing the cookies in some
different random file each time.

The application may be using those cookies to track users, and require
a 2-stage operation -- So you may need to visit a different page first
to get a valid Cookie, and THEN use those cookies as part of this
request to get what you want.

Try storing the cookies in the same file/jar all the time, and also
see if you can close your browser, surf DIRECTLY to the URL, and have
it work or not.

Re: 302 issue

Perhaps try turning off/on FOLLOWLOCATION and seeing where the headers
are trying to bounce you.

I'm guessing you'll end up seeing some Cookies in the headers, and
you'll need to use COOKIEJAR and COOKIEFILE.

Since you are getting cookies in the headers, perhaps you need to
provide a COOKIEJAR and COOKIEFILE for the redirects to work.

You'll have to do extra work to GET the movies and images, actually...

So cURL does what you want, out of the box. :-)

What happens if you use the GET parameters just as part of the URL
with CURLOPT_URL ?...

Re: cURL opt is not correct or missing?

Since nobody has answered yet, I'll take a stab:

Is the Cookie file readable/writable by the PHP user?

The missing cookies would almost for sure make the script not work...

Re: Quotes: Single, double, and NONE

Single-quotes are not significantly more efficient than double quotes.

Note that single-quotes STILL have some special characters:
\'
\\
So the parser has to iterate over each character with a 1-char
look-ahead (or look-behind) to know what to do.

Double-quotes has a slightly larger 'switch' statement for what to
*DO* with the special characters, but that's not a significant time
savings.

The "single-quotes is faster" answer is essentially an urban legend. :-)

PDF links

Dear Folks,

I am currently developing a web bot using php/curl and I have a question to throw out. Many times I will come across a link to a pdf file that appears just like a link to a web page. For example, http://www.somesite/healthcenter/ImmunizationForm.pdf. Click on this link, and in Firefox a popup-like window will appear asking "What should Firefox do with this file?" with the options of Open or Save to Disk.
Now, is it possible to follow such a link through curl and have the pdf file saved to disk? Has anyone ever succeeded in doing anything with a pdf through curl?
Thanks in advance.
