Retrieving https redirects using cURL

[saiprem]

Hi All, i am new to this forum, hope i will get the solution to my prob here.

I am using curl function to retrieve the data from a site, actually it is a https://www.examplesite.com.

i gave http://www.examplesite.com in curl function. it is not displaying any thing. Not able to redirect from the http to https even if i used FOLLOLOCATION.

 

Actually if you try the same in browser http://www.examplesite.com then it will redirects you to the https://www.examplesite.com.

 

Here is my source

<?php

                $url = "http://www.examplesite.com"; //Let me say for example take paypal.com and try

$connection = curl_init();

curl_setopt($connection, CURLOPT_URL,$url);

curl_setopt($connection, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);

$result = curl_exec($connection);

curl_close($connection);

 

                echo $result;

?>

 

Look at the code.

 

Any help on this greatly appreciated.

 

Best Regards

Prem

I love curl, it's a very powerful language option.  However if you are doing Paypal IPN which is what it looks like

I advise you to just use there standard IPN configuration.
