HTTPS posting...

Anon

Alright here's what I need to do. I'm doing a subscription based site and I need a program to invisibly, 'POST' variables to a https:// server and then the script needs to read what is sent back by the server. Anyone know the command line to do it? I've managed to find it in Perl and ASP but no luck on the end of finding out how to do it in PHP.

Hello,

I am attempting to do the same thing. Please let me know if you are able to get it to work. I found a PHP script HTTP_POST but I am getting the following error while running it:

Bad Request
Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.

Reason: You're speaking plain HTTP to an SSL-enabled server port.
Instead use the HTTPS scheme to access this URL, please.

Hint: https://206.11.164.21/

Apache/1.3.20 Server at 206.11.164.21 Port 80

Here is the url for the script if you want to download it and try it yourself: http://px.sklar.com/code.html?code_id=313

Let me know how it works out for you.

Regards,

Adrian Mcmanus

Hey Guys,

I think I can solve your problem.
You can use the CURL library, that is not basically part of an average system, but is easily installable.
Once you've found the CURL pages -sorry, I don't know where they are, but as far as I can remember on some Swedish site ?!?... - and installed the library, you can use PHP's CURL handling functions.
It can completely fulfill your recommendations. Can handle HTTPS, HTTP, FTP and some more kind of protocols.

If you wanna know more, of I were not clean enough, contact me via mail.

Best
