Re: [PHP] Show the entire browser request
2009/6/10 Dotan Cohen dotanco...@gmail.com Just checked your site in Elinks (works like Lynx) and I'm getting the headers come back to me. I'm assuming you changed your site code before me sending this and after you sent the original message? The individual headers are as they always were. It's the entire request verbatim (valid or not) that I'd like to add. Is installing the pecl_http extension on your server an option? http://php.net/manual/en/function.httprequest-getrawrequestmessage.php -robin

Re: [PHP] Show the entire browser request
2009/6/8 Dotan Cohen dotanco...@gmail.com: If its the request from the browser, why not just fire up a packet sniffer and get it that way? Unless it's using SSL/TLS/VPN/something that would encrypt it, you should be able to see the request in clear text. The browser is running on a Symbian cellphone. Run this on a command line and hit the IP on port 8000. All it does is read the request and send it back as the response. It ignores POST bodies but it would be pretty simple to modify it so it echo's those back too. http://dev.stut.net/php/httpsrv.phps -Stuart -- http://stut.net/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I also learned some really nice tips here, such as your usage of define for the header and footer, and why that is the cleanest solution when you need the content-length. The usage of sockets is new to me too, but this was easy to follow.

Re: [PHP] Show the entire browser request
Why should this be run on port 8000? Is there a security implication of running this on port 80? Would it be unwise to use this as a public service, for instance? I was considering adding the tool to http://simplesniff, which is why I ask. Of course, that would only be with your permission, and it would give you credit for writing the code as well. -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

2009/6/9 Dotan Cohen dotanco...@gmail.com: Why should this be run on port 8000? Is there a security implication of running this on port 80? Would it be unwise to use this as a public service, for instance? You can run it on port 80 but you'll need to make sure there's not another web server running on that port and you'll probably need to run it as an admin user. I was considering adding the tool to http://simplesniff, which is why I ask. Of course, that would only be with your permission, and it would give you credit for writing the code as well. There are no risks that I can see in the code. You're welcome to use it, and a link to http://stut.net/ is always appreciated ;-) If you're running it on a server that already has a web server on port 80 you have 2 choices... 1) Run it on another port. 2) Bind it to a different IP address. Option 1 is the simplest and wasting an IP for just this is a bit daft IMHO. One thing to note is that it can only handle a single request at once. If you want it to handle more simultaneously it'll need modifying a bit. Another way to go about this would be to run it using xinetd, but be sure to remove the while(true) loop before you do that, and close the $s socket at the end of the script. -Stuart -- http://stut.net/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Show the entire browser request
I need to diagnose a web browser problem, and I'd like PHP to return a page that shows the entire browser request, exactly as it was sent. It would naturally contain all the data in the HTTP Headers Information from phpinfo() but formatted exactly as the browser sent it.

Depending on the specifics of the problem at hand, Dotan, you may actually be better-served by running the diagnostics locally using LiveHTTPHeaders[1] (a Firefox addon) or something similar. ^1: http://livehttpheaders.mozdev.org/ -- /Daniel P.

However, I am trying to diagnose a web browser that is _not_ correctly forming it's requests, therefore I need the real request itself, as it was.

Thanks! -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il I think you're probably correct. I would imagine the request has to be at least well formed enough for the $_SERVER variables to be populated in order for it to even get into PHP. Otherwise, the web server wouldn't know what to do with it. The request method itself would have to be something that PHP is told to handle (which from what I've seen is usually only GET, POST or PUT, though other methods could be configure); if the request_uri is messed up, it will generally result in a 404 because the resource can't be found rather than a BAD REQUEST response. I'm not sure what impact the protocol part of that line has. For what you want, you probably need to write your own socket server to listen for the request and echo it back to the client.
