[PHP] Re: Curl Question
Hello, on 01/03/2006 06:52 PM Ray Hauge said the following: I just wanted to see if anyone knew if there was any difference in performance between using curl in an exec() statement and when using the libCurl functions within PHP. Executing a separate program should be a little slower as it adds some overhead before executing a request. Actually, in some cases it can be a little faster to use fsockopen instead of libcurl as it is one less library to load. You may also want to take a look at this HTTP client class that uses fsockopen everytime it is possible and only uses libcurl functions in certain cases.

[PHP] Re: CURL question, cutting off custom request
Hello, On 08/16/2004 12:40 PM, Dominic Schanen wrote: I'm sending a custom request to a server using CURL, which may contain some high-ascii characters. Are there certain characters that would cause CURL not to send the complete custom request? Are there some CURL options that can help make sure the request is sent in its entirity? Here is my code: $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION, 1.0); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, $request); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); $return = curl_exec ($ch); Sometimes it appears to cutoff my request with the existance of a NUL character. Any ideas? That depends on where you are using non-ASCII characters. If it is in the request headers, you need to use q-encoding to encode them as ASCII. If it is in the request body, it should not be a problem, although I think you should specify the character set in the Content-Type header. -- Regards, Manuel Lemos PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ PHP Reviews - Reviews of PHP books and other products http://www.phpclasses.org/reviews/ Metastorage - Data object relational mapping layer generator http://www.meta-language.net/metastorage.html -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
