Can't Use PHP CURL Help ????

[aabid]

Hey Guys,

 

Am developing a script which will send a request to a server through PHP's CURL using proxy, but I don't know why requests are not passing through whenever I use use proxy option of CURL.

And when I remove that proxies everything works fine,

Here is the code,

function getit($url, $start, $msg = "")
{
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (SymbianOS/9.1; U; [en-us]) AppleWebKit/413 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/413");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url );
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Expect:'));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL, 0); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, $this->proxy);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD, 'user:pass');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYAUTH, 'CURLPROXY_BASIC');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE, 'CURLAUTH_BASIC');
if(!$start)
{
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, TRUE);
}
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_ENCODING, "" );
if($msg)
	{
	$msg = str_replace(" ", "+", $msg);
	$msg = "msg=".$msg."&".$this->unique;
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $msg);
	}
else
	{
	if(!$start)
	{
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $this->unique);
	}
	}
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, Array("Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded","Accept: */*"));
$this->content = curl_exec($ch);
if(!$this->content)
	{
	echo "Requests are not passing through\n";
	echo "Error ".curl_error($ch)."\n";
	}
return $this->content;
}

Just a question???

Have u uncommented curl dll in php.ini file???

[xyph]

Are you sure it's an HTTP proxy?

 

What curl errors are you getting? Probably connection failures.

[aabid]

Ya cURL is active in php.ini function and also its working when am not using proxies so no question about that.

 

However how would I know whether its a HTTP proxy or not ? All I know is 3 type of proxies public, private and anonymous. I know for sure that the one am using is anonymous proxy.

 

Would it be a problem ?

Am getting this error

ERROR

The requested URL could not be retrieved

 

The following error was encountered while trying to retrieve the URL: http://www.yahoo.com

 

    Access Denied.

 

Access control configuration prevents your request from being allowed at this time. Please contact your service provider if you feel this is incorrect.

There you go. Proxy won't let you connect.

 

Is this a public proxy, or one you've paid for? Your best bet is to ask whoever is providing you this proxy how to cURL through it.

 

HTTP proxy is a proxy that allows communication over the HTTP protocol

but when am using that through my firefox it works and I can surf easily but why not in PHP script ??? I know for sure that its a anonymous proxy...Do I need more information than that ?

[xyph]

Possibly the authorization. Is it needed?

[aabid]

I don't know what authorization means but in my knowledge it is providing valid username and password I assume and am providing that.

Beside that I've also tried to both include and remove following line,

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYAUTH, 'CURLPROXY_BASIC');

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE, 'CURLAUTH_BASIC');

yet also nothing works and it shows the same.

 

What I noticed though is when I comment out the line containing CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD, still the error remains same or atleast it looks same in browser output. Might be because of that but am not sure....

[xyph]

You'll have to check with the owner of the proxy.

 

This isn't a PHP issue, and it is well beyond anything we can help you with. The most I can do is, 'try this, try that, etc'

 

For some reason, the proxy server is rejecting your attempt to cURL through it.

[aabid]

AM tired with this thing now, can't devise a solution for this. I don't know why the proxy is refusing connection when am trying that with my script.

 

I asked from my proxy provider how to curl and he simply sent me PHP code which was almost same as of mine with no help.

 

I also sent a basic base64 of my username:password in a header to make it authorized still its refusing connections.

 

Please help me guys.....
