PHP cURL vs Linux CURL

[dhendricks]

Hi,

 

I hope some one can explain this to me. I wrote a bug on the PHP site and they sent it back saying it was not, but told me to find a forum to get the 'why' part of it.

 

I am sending a POST request and needing to get back the mime type. The problem is that PHP cURL returns image/jpeg for the POST request, but text/plain for HEAD and GET requests. Now to compare the return data, I used curl via linux command line. With that I get plain/text across the board (POST, GET, HEAD).

 

Here is my PHP code which returns the mime type of image/jpeg (** should return text/plain):

$URL ="http://s7d4.scene7.com/is/image/sample?fmt=png&req=catalogprops,text";
$c = curl_init();
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_URL, $URL);
curl_exec($c);
echo curl_getinfo($c, CURLINFO_CONTENT_TYPE); //The important info I need that should return text/plain not image/jpeg
curl_close($c);

 

Here is my results from calling curl via linux (Mac OS X) command:

deirdra-hendrickss-macbook-pro:~ dhendric$ curl --url "http://s7d4.scene7.com/is/image/sample" -d "fmt=png&req=catalogprops,text" -i
