Hi I have a server which has several virtual hosts set up on it.
I wanted to make a curl request to this server's ip using php.
Also I wanted to make this request to a specific hostname on the server's ip.
Is there a way to do it?
A bit more elaboration :
I want to make a curl requests between my servers using internal LAN, using their internal IP. The issue is that I have several sites hosted on this server. So when i make a curl request to the internal IP of the server.. something like (curl_init(xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)), I want to be able to be tell apache to go to a particular folder pointed to by a virtual host. I hope that made the question a bit more clear.. – Vishesh Joshi 3 mins ago edit
You can set the host header in the curl request:
<?php
$ch = curl_init('XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Host: subdomain.hostname.com'));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
echo curl_exec($ch);
For HTTPS sites use CURLOPT_RESOLVE which exists in every PHP version since PHP 5.5.
<?php
$ch = curl_init('https://www.example.com/');
// note: array used here
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RESOLVE, array(
"www.example.com:443:172.16.1.1",
));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, true);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
Sample output:
* Added www.example.com:443:172.16.1.1 to DNS cache
* Hostname www.example.com was found in DNS cache
* Trying 172.16.1.1...

It works, but I need query string attach with it.
That's what I work around:
<?php
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/index.php?page=api&action=getdifficulty");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Host: subdomain.hostname.com'));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
echo curl_exec($ch);
?>

I want to send two .crt certificates with curl in php.
I am using this code.
$firstcalldata = "csv file data";
$target_url = www.example.com;
$ch = curl_init($target_url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, '1');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CAINFO,"C:/Users/admin/Desktop/CERT/PSCERT.pem");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CAINFO, getcwd() . "C:/Users/admin/Desktop/CERT/PSCERT-C.crt");
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $firstcalldata);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/csv'));
$result = curl_exec($ch);
echo $result;
curl_close($ch);`
I am sending also a csv file to $target_url.
But all time I am getting 403 - Forbidden: Access is denied.
You're not really saying what you want to accomplish, you're just asking a very weird question with no answer. You example doesn't send the .crt at all, it uses it to verify the server's certificate. And CAINFO is meant to point to a file holding a full bundle (like one of those you can get at curl's caextract page)
But you disable both VERIFYPEER and VERIFYHOST so you don't actually need any CA cert!?
What exactly do you want to do? Note also how getting a 403 back means that you already communicate fine over the TLS layer.
The below php code is making a REST API call that returns json object. This works fine when i use it on my localhost using WAMP Absolutely no problem.
However when i push this app on the server it would TimeOut and display 503 Service Unavailable.
I checked the logs it has an entry :
The TimeOut Specified has expired.
I contacted my admin he just said this app listens to PORT=64665 and HOST=0.0.0.0. What does that mean? What more changes do i need to make in my code to make it work on the server ? Help
<?php
$url = "http://xyz.net/v2/plan/"; // I have changed the REST URI API Link for security reasons
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);
$result=curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
// Will dump json
var_dump(json_decode($result, true));
$response = "http://xyz.net/v2/plan/";
echo $response;
?>
Check your server's /etc/hosts file, there could be the problem, ie. domain mapped to another (wrong) IP address.
As recommended by my DocuSign account manager, I am using Fiddler2 to capture the necessary trace for API certification. I am unable to retrieve the trace from the DocuSign domain and have narrowed it down to the fact that these are cURL calls.
According to Fiddler2, http://fiddler2.com/documentation/Configure-Fiddler/Tasks/ConfigurePHPcURL, the advice is to add the following to code:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, '127.0.0.1:8888');
where $ch = curl_init().
I've also tried
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_PROXY, '127.0.0.1:8888');
Still no dice. I only get traffic from my application site. The following is all of my curl code:
$url = "https://demo.docusign.net/restapi/v2/login_information";
$curl = curl_init($url);
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array("X-DocuSign-Authentication: $header"));
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 2);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_CAINFO, getcwd() ."/**the cert info");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, '127.0.0.1:8888');//allows fiddler to see requests
$json_response = curl_exec($curl);
$status = curl_getinfo($curl, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
It's definitely talking to the DocuSign domain as my application is working, I'm just trying to get the trace. Any help is appreciated.
fiddler is client side program, it cannot see server traffic to other servers only traffic between client and server.
Unless your server is running locally (on the same computer that you are running fiddler) using 127.0.0.1 this will not work as 127.0.0.1 is the loopback ip for the computer, in this case the server would be trying to use itself as a proxy (which would be ok if the server computer itself was the one running fiddler). You need to change the ip to the computer running fiddler and make sure the server can access that port.
I was facing the exact same scenario, and I used a protocol analyzer such as Wireshark or TCPDUMP to see HTTP traffic at network level.
Of course the server needs to be running locally. Bellow you can find a screenshot example of traffic capture where you can clearly see the HTTP GET going out.

cURL + proxy noob here, having a hard time. I'm having trouble trying to retrieve a web page from a remote secure server via a proxy. Everything has apparently been set up correctly by a remote dev, such that the following command line instruction works and returns what we're looking for:
curl -k --socks5-hostname localhost:xxxx https://hostname/
However, the following PHP does not echo the requested webpage. Instead it echoes the error 'Couldn't resolve host name':
$proxy = 'localhost:xxxx';
$url = 'https://hostname/';
//$proxyauth = 'user:password';
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, $proxy);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE, CURLPROXY_SOCKS5);
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD, $proxyauth);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
$curl_scraped_page = curl_exec($ch);
$error = curl_error($ch);
curl_close($ch);
if ($error)
echo $error;
elseif ($curl_scraped_page)
echo $curl_scraped_page;
If the $url is changed to a public page, such as Google, the request is successful and everyone is happy.
The connection requires an SSH tunnel if that changes anything at all. The tunnel is open and functioning, as proven by the command line request succeeding.
Is there something obvious that is being missed here?
You need to set option CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE to CURLPROXY_SOCKS5_HOSTNAME, which sadly wasn't defined in old PHP versions, circa pre-5.6; if you have earlier in but you can explicitly use its value, which is equal to 7:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE, 7);
In the option CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE you need to set CURLPROXY_SOCKS5_HOSTNAME option instead of CURLPROXY_SOCKS5.
In this case, the DNS query (for hostname resolving) will be sent to SOCKS proxy and not resolved in the local network.
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE, CURLPROXY_SOCKS5_HOSTNAME);
This constant available since PHP 5.5.23 and PHP 5.6.7 and cURL 7.18.0, so you can simply use it.
