fake referrer in cURL


etrader

Recommended Posts

When making a fake identity in cURL, we use

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'Googlebot/2.1 (http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html)'); 

but which is better for the referrer:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER, true); 

or

curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, "http://www.google.com/bot.html");  

:shy:

Thanks for your informative reply. One more question. Does the order has an influence on cURL processing? I mean changing the order of lines in

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'Googlebot/2.1 (http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html)');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"http://www.site.com");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, 'http://www.google.com/bot.html'); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 10);
