I want to post data to the url using basic authentication as per RFC2617
$header = base64_encode("[email protected]:india123");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-type: text/plain', 'Authorization: Basic '.$header));
What else I need to do here, I am passing ':' separated username and password using base64 encoding?
I am getting 401 response, that is unauthorized where as my username and password are valid, I am able to login using them.
Thanks
Instead of manually injecting the Authentication header, use CURL_USERPWD and the CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH=>CURLAUTH_BASIC setting.
$ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC ) ; curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "[email protected]:india123"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSLVERSION,3); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 2); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_NOBODY, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $submit_url);
