Status: Open
Bug Type: cURL related
Operating System: Windows XP SP2
PHP Version: 5.2.5
New Comment:
Correct, this is the expected and designed behaviour as you're doing a
GET request but changes the method keyword to "HEAD" which doesn't make
libcurl act differently. It will still act like it does a GET. You get
what you ask for.
The NOBODY option is for changing a GET to HEAD and make libcurl treat
it as such.
So: thisisnotabug

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
Date: Wed, 23 Jan 2008 17:49:20 GMT
Server: Microsoft-IIS/6.0
Content-Length: 16914
Content-Type: text/html
Set-Cookie: ASPSESSIONIDSSCDDQSS=NFLPAACDIBKLHIGINKELONCJ; path=/
