PHP https post XML data with cURL

Question

I\'m trying to send a HTTPS POST request with XML data to a server using PHP.

Anything sends to the server requires authentication therefore I\'ll use cURL.

Answer 1

You have to do, in you original code:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $fields['data']);

or

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, '<n1:asset xmlns:n1="http://.....com/"><title>AAAA</title><fileName>http://192.168.11.30:8080/xxx.html</fileName><description>AAAA_desc</description><fileType>HTML</fileType></n1:asset>');

I mean that you have to send the XML directly.

Answer 2

Perhaps you could try text/xml instead of application/xml?

Answer 3

I solve with

$xml = $this->getXml();
$url = $this->getUrl();
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'POST');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $xml);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
                                       'Content-type: application/xml', 
                                       'Content-length: ' . strlen($xml)
                                     ));
$output = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
