I am trying to use curl to access 3rd party webservice, I used the following code which works well if I try it on my own linux server, the data is being sent ok, but the IIS on the 3rd party server returns an error.
$longdata is a long string of data, maybe over 1000 characters long
the 3rd party has many working clients with various implementations so the problem is on my side.
what do I need to add to the request in order to get this through ?
<?php
$c = curl_init();
// curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Expect:'));
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://XXX.com/test/index.asmx');
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$post = array('param1' => 'XXXX', "param2" => "Y", "Param3" => $long_data);
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post);
$response = curl_exec($c);
echo $response;
/*

For those who got here via google, like I did, I found an article that solved the problem.
Basically, you have to stringify the data array
$post_array = array(
"Param1"=>'xyz',
"Param2"=>'abc',
"Param3"=>'123'
);
//url-ify the data
foreach($post_array as $key=>$value)
{
$post_array_string .= $key.'='.$value.'&';
}
$post_array_string = rtrim($post_array_string,'&');
//set the url, number of POST vars, POST data
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POST,count($post_array ));
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$post_array_string);
Had a similar problem, with sending a XML to a IIS.
Solved using this php function: http_build_query($params);
It seems that IIS needs the post data to be in URL style.
This one is really similar to Tobias Fünke solution.
So you can use the function this way:
$post_array = array(
"Param1"=>'xyz',
"Param2"=>'abc',
"Param3"=>'123'
);
//set the url, number of POST vars, POST data
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POST,count($post_array));
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query($post_array_string));
Hope this helps.
A little bit more tricky without knowing full details, the landing server for your cURL script might be denying access. EG:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.2a1pre) Gecko/20110324 Firefox/4.2a1pre');
Just add that, see if it helps as if you're not sending a user_agent over, or an unrecognised 1 is picked up, maybe they are denying access.
Reading the response it looks like the server wants to see the form data sent over with a different Content-Type. It might need to be set to multipart/form-data.
