Is there any way to run cURL exec (open a page) from the users session?

[marklarah]

As in, read a remote page, with the users cookies and such.

I have

<?
       $url = "http://www.test.com";
       $ch = curl_init();
       $timeout = 5; // set to zero for no timeout
       curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
       curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
       curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, $timeout);
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, IP Address);
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYPORT, Port No);
       $file_contents = curl_exec($ch);
       curl_close($ch);
?>

 

but ???

haha, you're making me sound like a hacker or something.

 

Lemme explain, I'm trying to make a customized homepage, that is able to display things displayed on other sites, such as new emails, ratio on trackers etc.

 

If the div containing the info for it is the same, I can access it an display it. If some sites require a login, I want it to login from that user (all on the page) and display the data.

Actually thorpe, I see where you're coming from. I guess technically this could be considered XSS, but it's for legitimate purposes.

It doesn't really matter what its considered. Your site cannot simply impersonate another client.
