PHP version: 4.3.4
PHP Bug Type: cURL related
Bug description: CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER and CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST incompatibility?
Description:
------------
Trying to help a friend which wanted to do a curl HEAD request with php
(just like the shell curl -I does), I wrote down this code, without much
checking:
$ch = curl_init('http://foo/bar.html');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'HEAD');
var_dump(curl_exec($ch));
In fact he tried it and told me it doesn't work, while this does:
$ch = curl_init('http://foo/bar.html');
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'HEAD');
ob_start();
curl_exec($ch);
var_dump(ob_get_clean());
phpinfo() tels me that I'm running:
libcurl/7.10.5 OpenSSL/0.9.7b zlib/1.1.4
I've also seen bug #15279, but it was marked as documentation problem, and
didn't explain this weird issue.
Reproduce code:
---------------
$ch = curl_init('http://beccati.com/img/adv.png');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'HEAD');
var_dump(curl_exec($ch));
Expected result:
----------------
string(214) "HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Sat, 21 Feb 2004 07:39:06 GMT

Actual result:
