HTTPS connections

Anon

Hi everyone,

I read somewhere that PHP4 could not initiate HTTPS connections as a client. Then I just read that CURL, a php extension, could initiate such a connection.

Could someone please clear this up. I need to be able to initiate a SSL connection to use AuthorizeNet the way I would like to.

hi,

you are in problem because php fopen does not get data from "https" servers and you cannot make SSL by opening a 443 port by fsockopen command. There you need some encyrption that cannot be done manually.

Curl is a solution it can handle SSL connecyions.

In additon there is another solution at www.exeed.de/download/openssl_php.tar.gz. This i think requires you not to use php as cgi however i am not sure of it, even not sure any of them works.

I have same problem. I want to read a page in a SSL server (https://), and with CURL, with fopen or fsockopen, I can't do that.
Can U help me?
thx

we have fixed this problem with Curl. It really works and we are currently retreiving secure websites from a php script.
Posting, user authentication is also possible.

Try to enable curl for PHP. If you cannot, i can help if you give details about your hosting service provider.

Would you be able to share some of your code? I need to make a connection
via port 443.

hi,

here is myscript. this will output the contents of secure site to users.
You need to compile php with curl library.

Or, a second chance you can run curl externally using popen command in php.

good luck.

<?php

$ch = curl_init ("https://go2all.com/cgi-bin/store");
$fp = fopen ("homepage.txt", "w");

curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_INFILE, $fp);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);

curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close ($ch);
fclose ($fp);
?>

I need to retrieve some XML code from asp file.
The asp needs to be executed, with CURL I get teh following warnings:

Warning: fopen("cashup_demo.php?user=0049000001138295&pass=cashup&prodid=27&curr=EUR&amount=20&msisdn=0613652227&partnerid=1","r") - Invalid argument in D:\home\benefits\userdev.nl\test\success.php on line 8

This is my code:

$ch = curl_init ("https://cashupweb.brodos.net/cashup/");
$fp = fopen ("cashup_demo.php?user=0049000001138295&pass=cashup&prodid=27&curr=EUR&amount=20&msisdn=0613652227&partnerid=1", "r");

curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);

$pin = curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close ($ch);
fclose ($fp);

I now have this code:

$curl = "https://cashupweb.brodos.net/cashup/cashup_demo.php?user=0049000001138295&pass=cashup&prodid=27&curr=EUR&amount=20&msisdn=0613652227&partnerid=1";
$ch = curl_init($curl);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_NOPROGRESS, 0);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_NOBODY, 0);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);

$curl_ret = curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close ($ch);

But now I get this:
Your connection is using a weak random seed! Closing live connection (#0)
