Curl posting HTTPS form Error

[itsmaheshp]

Hi, I have just installed latest php & curl in my debian 10.6 box and playing with curl.

I was trying to post a form that is https. here is the code:

 $curl = curl_init("https://www.sampledomain.com/mylogin.php");

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, FALSE);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624 Netscape/7.1 (ax)");
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSLVERSION,3);


   curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, FALSE);


$post_string = "uid=someusrid&pwd=somepassword";
//echo $post_string;

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_string); 

    // $output contains the output string
    $output = curl_exec($curl);

when I run the php page, it again gave me the login page

any clue?

Thanks,
Mahesh

most login pages have protection against such things, if you are really just playing with curl, try something that doesn't look so suspicious
