cURL in PHP only partially removing headers - php

Question

Running Out Of Sanity
I have looked high and low and lost a bit of my life and a lot of my sanity trying to return a cURL POST request. Everything works fine except I cannot remove the headers. Oh yes I have tried
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
What worse is that when I try
$headerLength = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HEADER_SIZE);
I get a return of 25 which is completely wrong. Please help I am at my wits end with this one.
So I call this method
$service = new RestfulService($Url1);
$response = $service->request('', 'POST', $tokenXml, null,
array(CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => false,
CURLOPT_ENCODING =>'UTF-8'));
Which in turn calls (using SilverStripe framework)
public function curlRequest($url, $method, $data = null, $headers = null, $curlOptions = array()) {
$ch = curl_init();
$timeout = 5;
$sapphireInfo = new SapphireInfo();
$useragent = 'SilverStripe/' . $sapphireInfo->Version();
$curlOptions = $curlOptions + (array)$this->config()->default_curl_options;
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $useragent);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, $timeout);
if(!ini_get('open_basedir')) curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, $method);
//include headers in the response
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
// Add headers
if($this->customHeaders) {
$headers = array_merge((array)$this->customHeaders, (array)$headers);
}
if($headers) curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
// Add authentication
if($this->authUsername) curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $this->getBasicAuthString());
// Add fields to POST and PUT requests
if($method == 'POST') {
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
} elseif($method == 'PUT') {
$put = fopen("php://temp", 'r+');
fwrite($put, $data);
fseek($put, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PUT, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_INFILE, $put);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_INFILESIZE, strlen($data));
}
// Apply proxy settings
if(is_array($this->proxy)) {
curl_setopt_array($ch, $this->proxy);
}
// Set any custom options passed to the request() function
curl_setopt_array($ch, $curlOptions);
// Run request
$rawResponse = curl_exec($ch);
if (curl_error($ch)) var_dump(curl_error($ch));
$response = $this->extractResponse($ch, $rawResponse);
curl_close($ch);
return $response;
}
When I dump the response, the remove header command only removes the first few characters. Like so...
object(RestfulService_Response)[1065]
protected 'simpleXML' => null
protected 'cachedResponse' => boolean false
protected 'statusCode' => int 100
protected 'statusDescription' => string 'Continue' (length=8)
protected 'headers' =>
array (size=0)
empty
protected 'body' => string 'ontrol: no-cache

Has it got anything to do with the strange character before the
Update: I have checked this code on my colleagues computer, he doesn't have any problems. I am running WAMP my colleague is on a MAC, could there be any set up issues? I have downloaded the most recent curl.dll and added it to my php library, still no cigar.
Any ideas???

Answer 1

In my case the encoding was incorrect I needed to add the following option
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSLVERSION, 3)
Works fine now
