What is equivalent for "curl -v --noproxy localhost" in php?

Question

I cannot curl localhost from php, but any other external host works fine.

From cmd I've tried "curl localhost" - it didn't work too, but ingnoring proxy for localhost "curl -v --noproxy localhost" - works.

What is equivalent for this in php?

Answer 1

You can try setting the proxy to an empty string:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, '');

Another possibility is to add a proxy exception to your env var "no_proxy", but i'm not 100% sure if it affects PHP:

set no_proxy=127.0.0.1

Answer 2

I also faced same issue. I was working in a company which sits behind a proxy, so we need to add proxy to curl calls when making outbound calls. However, for locally hosted sites, the curl call was failing.

What worked for me is this one ( CURLOPT_NOPROXY does not affect in PHP 's the update part of the question where a link was provided):

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_NOPROXY, 'your-sitename-on-localhost');

This will skip proxy when it matches a sitename in the URL.

Previously I was receiving 503, and now it is returning the correct 200 status code for the site on my localhost.
