[SOLVED] How to send "Authorization: Basic" header

[gtzpower]

Can anyone tell me why, when using the code below, our server logs are not showing the authorization headers being sent?  Any recommendations on how to get it working?  Thanks!

 

		
$credentials = "calcuser:testpwd";

header("POST /svcs/CalculationEng HTTP/1.0");
header("Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8");
header("Accept: application/soap+xml, application/dime, multipart/related, text/*");
header("Cache-Control: no-cache");
header("Pragma: no-cache");
header("SOAPAction: \"run\"");
header("Content-Length: 2815");
header("Authorization: Basic " . base64_encode($credentials));

This might work for you

<?php

if ((!isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'])) || (!isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']))) {
    header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Secured Area"');
    header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
    echo 'Authorization Required.';
    exit;
} else if ((isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'])) && (isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']))){
    if (($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] != "calcuser") || ($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'] != "testpwd")) {
       header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Secured Area"');
       header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
       echo 'Authorization Required.';
       exit;
    } else if (($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] == "calcuser") || ($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'] == "testpwd")) {
       echo "<h1>Welcome Friends!</h1>";
    }
}
?>

Thanks for the reply, but I think we're on opposite sides of the fence.  Your code is for the server side while mine is for the client side.  I am connecting to a web service that requires HTTP authentication.  I have to pass the credentials to the remote server to the web service.

For future readers, this may be of use.

<?php

		$credentials = "username:password";

		// Read the XML to send to the Web Service
		$request_file = "./SampleRequest.xml";
	$fh = fopen($request_file, 'r');
	$xml_data = fread($fh, filesize($request_file));
	fclose($fh);

	$url = "http://www.myservicehost.com/services/calculation";
	$page = "/services/calculation";
	$headers = array(
        	"POST ".$page." HTTP/1.0",
        "Content-type: text/xml;charset=\"utf-8\"",
        "Accept: text/xml",
        "Cache-Control: no-cache",
        "Pragma: no-cache",
        "SOAPAction: \"run\"",
        "Content-length: ".strlen($xml_data),
        "Authorization: Basic " . base64_encode($credentials)
        );
       
        $ch = curl_init();
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 60);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $defined_vars['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);

        // Apply the XML to our curl call
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $xml_data); 

        $data = curl_exec($ch); 

        if (curl_errno($ch)) {
        	print "Error: " . curl_error($ch);
        } else {
        	// Show me the result
        	var_dump($data);
        	curl_close($ch);
        }?>

Some further stuff regarding pulling an attachment from a soap response.  I noticed the binary data in my case was surrounded by %PDF-1.4 ......... %%EOF.  So I tried the following and I'll be darned if it didn't work   I searched all over the net trying to find a way to pull soap attachments without the soap functionality, then decided to just try stuff.  Not sure how consistently reliable it will be, but maybe someone will find it useful...

 

<?php
        	// Show me the result
        	//var_dump($data);
        	
        	$fp = fopen( './file.pdf', 'wb' );
		fwrite( $fp, substr($data,strpos($data,"%PDF-1.4"),(strpos($data,"%%EOF") - strpos($data,"%PDF-1.4") + 5)));
		fclose( $fp );
        	
        	curl_close($ch);
?>
