PHP curl ; symbol on url - php

Question

I need to access this URL on php:
https://wmf.ok.ru/play;jsessionid=a-pt2O8FJKq_wzqod9LAJNtwgjNSjaNa-KVIGc1d1eRUSWhdAw9dlDo13fLzh57rGyKPzk2V0jMFrnKw8R4HjA.p162X6pZ_FG0kKMmKa6bkQ?client=flash&jsonp=&tid=40542951634095&ctx=my
But on my PHP code I got 404 error. I have done everything correctly. I think there is a mistake with ; symbol. We can open the link above on chrome, but not on php curl. Here is my code:
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
function file_get_contents_curl($url) {
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/62.0.3202.94 Safari/537.36');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
'Accept: application/json, text/javascript, */*; q=0.01',
'Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, br',
'Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.9,az;q=0.8,tr;q=0.7,uz;q=0.6,ru;q=0.5',
'Referer: https://ok.ru/',
'Origin: https://ok.rus'
));
$data = curl_exec($ch);
if(curl_error($ch))
{
echo 'error:' . curl_error($ch);
}
echo curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_URL);
curl_close($ch);
return $data;
}
$url = 'https://wmf.ok.ru/play;jsessionid=a-pt2O8FJKq_wzqod9LAJNtwgjNSjaNa-KVIGc1d1eRUSWhdAw9dlDo13fLzh57rGyKPzk2V0jMFrnKw8R4HjA.p162X6pZ_FG0kKMmKa6bkQ?client=flash&jsonp=&tid=40542951634095&ctx=my';
echo file_get_contents_curl($url);
?>
After executing this code, I got microsoft's server 404 error. How can I make Curl to open URLs like this?

Just add this to your function and it will work:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_ENCODING, 'gzip, deflate');
Here is the full working function:
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
function file_get_contents_curl($url) {
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/62.0.3202.94 Safari/537.36');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_ENCODING, 'gzip, deflate');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
'Accept: application/json, text/javascript, */*; q=0.01',
'Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, br',
'Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.9,az;q=0.8,tr;q=0.7,uz;q=0.6,ru;q=0.5',
'Referer: https://ok.ru/',
'Origin: https://ok.rus'
));
$data = curl_exec($ch);
if(curl_error($ch))
{
echo 'error:' . curl_error($ch);
}
echo curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_URL);
curl_close($ch);
return $data;
}
$url = 'https://wmf.ok.ru/play;jsessionid=a-pt2O8FJKq_wzqod9LAJNtwgjNSjaNa-KVIGc1d1eRUSWhdAw9dlDo13fLzh57rGyKPzk2V0jMFrnKw8R4HjA.p162X6pZ_FG0kKMmKa6bkQ?client=flash&jsonp=&tid=40542951634095&ctx=my';
echo file_get_contents_curl($url);
?>
