RE: [PHP] HTTPS POST without user/client intervention
I think what you are looking for is socket connections: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fsockopen.php Or CURL http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.curl.php -Original Message- From: PHP List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 15, 2003 1:02 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] HTTPS POST without user/client intervention I am writing a php script to accept an HTTPS POST of data from a remote site, process the data, and send an HTTPS POST response back (not necessarily to the same remote site). I can do this pretty easily in PERL (which I may have to if I can't find a PHP solution). Also I need to do the https post without any kind of client or user interaction. I have checked through php.net and phpbuilder.com but have only come up with things for HTTP POST (no SSL Encryption). Anyone run across something like this, or can point me in a direction to look? -- Woody In a world without boundaries why do we need Gates and Windows? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Can you perhaps rephrase what you are trying to do? The way I interpret what you are asking may be much simpler than what you really mean to do. To accept an HTTPS POST only requires that your Web server is SSL-enabled. There is nothing special you must do. For example, a PHP script can print out all posted data like this: print_r($_POST); This simple example also replies to the remote site (over SSL) that sent the HTTPS request, since that's where standard out goes. Basically, since SSL lies between TCP and HTTP, by the time your PHP script gets the data, there is really no difference. The difference is in the Web server, not the code (unless you want to check whether the current connection is SSL). As for sending a POST request to a remote site via SSL, just check out cURL, which also has a convenient PEAR package.

In that case, you should find this helpful: http://www.php.net/curl If you like PEAR, this might be handy: http://pear.php.net/Net_Curl cURL does support SSL, so it should provide what you need.
