Replacing CURL with urlfetch in PHP

问题

I'm creating an application for Google App engine, where CURL isn't allowed. As far as I know, urlFetch is the best alternative.

I don't know if I can achieve the same result with urlFetch, but I would really, really appreciate it if anyone with more experience could help me out.

The plan was to convert the following CURL requests to urlFetch. If anyone can point me in the right direction, or propose a better alternative, I'd greatly appreciate it.

public function postCall($endpoint, $post_data, $param1, $param2, $json=1, $headers=false) {
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL, $this->options['url'].$endpoint);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

if ($headers && is_array($headers)) {
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
}

$post_data['req_token'] = $this->hash($param1, $param2);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, count($post_data));
if (!$headers) 
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query($post_data));
else
    curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_data);
$this->debug('POST params: ' . json_encode($post_data));
$result = curl_exec($ch);
if ($result === false) {
    $this->debug('CURL error: '.curl_error($ch));
    return false;
}
$this->debug('HTTP response code' . curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE));
$this->debug('POST return ' . $result);

// close connection
curl_close($ch);

if ($json)
    return json_decode(utf8_encode($result), true);
else
    return $result;}

Did you look at the Urlfetch documentation and the linked PHP article about wrappers?. You can experiment with this live shell.

The code could be translated to something like:

public function postCall($endpoint, $post_data, $param1, $param2, $json=1, $headers=false) {
  $post_data['req_token'] = $this->hash($param1, $param2);
  $this->debug('POST params: ' . json_encode($post_data));
  $data = http_build_query($post_data);
  $options =
      array("http"=>
        array(
          "method" => "POST",
          "content" => $post_data,
        )
      );
  if ($headers && is_array($headers)) {
      $options["http"]["header"] = $headers;
  }
  $context = stream_context_create($options);
  $result = file_get_contents("http://app.com/path?query=update", false, $context);

  if ($result === FALSE) {
      $this->debug('Error: '. print_r($http_response_header));
      return FALSE;
  }
  $this->debug('Response headers:' . print_r($http_response_header)); // To get the status code you would need to parse that response
  $this->debug('POST return ' . $result);

  if ($json)
      return json_decode(utf8_encode($result), true);
  else
      return $result;
}

Here is simple library which replaces curl native functions with urlfetch. https://github.com/azayarni/purl

回答3:

Someone here suggested using the PURL from azayarni. Let me warn you: avoid using it on Google App Engine. I spent SEVERAL days trying to get it work without success: the Google PHP Client SDK is rewriting itself some CURL functions and simply PURL mess it up a lot. Some things were working, some were not. The URLFETCH tool is much more easier and safe.

Its a very old post, but just an update: Google App Engine now supports cURL with its PHP 5.5 runtime.
