Bug description: CURL HEAD command problem
Description:
------------
This bug is not solved:
Bug #27341 CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST 'HEAD' misbehaves?
I checked with latest CVS version
I dont know what you have solved, but the real issus is this: when calling
using CURL IIS servers, those servers will return (correctly) in the HEAD
method reply the Content-Length field. This is OK because the HTTP protocol
says HEAD should be identical with GET, only the body of the response
should not be sent in case of HEAD. Apache in case of a HEAD command will
NOT return Content-Length in response, so dont test against Apache and say
it works. So, if Content-Length is present in a HEAD response, CURL will
block waiting to receive o response body of the given length, and this will
never come. See below script to reproduce the problem (is the script you
proposed at Bug #27341 resolution, only URL is modified to call an IIS
server)
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$ch = curl_init('http://www.robertoswinds.com/store/p.asp?c=126'); //MAKE
SURE URL HERE IS FROM A IIS SERVER. THIS IS, I KNOW IT BECAUSE IS MY
SERVER.
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'HEAD');
var_dump(curl_exec($ch));
?>
Expected result:
----------------
return the page content
Actual result:
--------------
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
