Hi all,
I am writing a TYPO3 extension to externally call Cake applications
and merge their output into TYPO3 pages. Away from TYPO3 what I am
basically trying to do is to access Cake output from another
(external) PHP script over HTTP protocol and post process it.
Everything is working perfectly now except for one detail:
If the Cake application uses authentication I am not sure which way to
go to authenticate my external PHP script against the Cake
application.
In my script I am currently using file_get_contents('http://...') to
poll the Cake application, which is working just fine as long as Cake
does not request authentication.
A solution I am thinking of is to use Curl, set it up to save cookie
data and send login post headers to the Cake login page. After that I
could do a second Curl access to the Cake controller of my choice and
poll the output that I need.
But before I implement this rather complex solution I would like to
get your comments. I have a feeling that I am overlooking a much
simpler solution here.
Any hints are welcome that point me into the right direction to
elegantly solve this.
Cheers, Jörg.
