http post request in curl

[zwik]

I am testing a url for http post request. It connects to the site then it is disconnected. In fire fox it is giving error that the "connection was reset". In google chrome it is giving error that "Unable to load the webpage because the server sent no data". Following is the script.

 

I am new to curl and also new to http request response. The provider of this site tells me that everything is ok and it is sending data but i am not getting any data or any header of this site.

 

<?php

 

$data = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><Request><Source ClientID="test_xml" Password="1234" /><RequestDetails Language="En"><SearchHotelPriceRequest><ServiceDestination DestinationType="city" DestinationCode="477" /><ImmediateConfirmationOnly>1</ImmediateConfirmationOnly><PeriodOfStay><CheckInDate>2012-03-01</CheckInDate><Duration>3</Duration></PeriodOfStay><Rooms> <Room NumberOfRooms="1" NumberOfAdults="2" /> </Rooms></SearchHotelPriceRequest></RequestDetails></Request>';

$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 1);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://62.218.28.13:8443/monWebService/Request/v2');

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, $data);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);

$data = curl_exec($ch);

curl_close ($ch);

echo $data;

?>
