ID: 64433 Updated by: s...@php.net Reported by: akbarovs at gmail dot com Summary: follow_location parameter of context is ignored for most response codes -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Type: Bug Package: Streams related Operating System: Any PHP Version: 5.4.13 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Please explain the use case for such change - why we should be following redirects when no redirect actually exists, as given by the response. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-03-15 17:04:35] akbarovs at gmail dot com I've attached pull request for this issue: https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/303 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-03-15 16:41:23] akbarovs at gmail dot com Description: ------------ Affected PHP versions: 5.4.12, 5.4.13, Git The problem is that in new releases PHP ignores 'follow_location' context parameters for the response codes not in (300, 301, 302, 303 and 307). Problem is related to bugfix for bug #62524. Response codes should not be checked in the same condition where we check 'follow_location' parameter. And when we do that 'follow_location' is always 1 for most response codes (ex.: 201): so we always redirect to the 'Location' and it cannot be changed using 'follow_location'=>0 You can see curl log for the sample resource where we combine 201 response code with 'Location' header: https://gist.github.com/akbarovs/5171115 For the test script I expect following response: {"success": "ok"} But when I execute it I get: {"documentId": 15} regardless to the follow_location parameter. I can remove it from the context parameter but I will continue receive wrong response. I've attached patch for this issue. If 'follow_location' is not specified we do redirect for 3xx response codes. Otherwise we do not follow redirect. If 'follow_location' is specified -> we do/do not follow redirects without checking response codes (if somebody really want to be redirected why we shouldn't allow to do it?) BTW, I can send pull request via github if needed Test script: --------------- <?php $requestXML = ''; $arr = array('http'=> array( 'method'=>'POST', 'follow_location'=>0, 'content' => $requestXML ) ); $context = stream_context_create($arr); $f = fopen('http://localhost:8000', 'r', FALSE, $context); echo stream_get_contents($f); ?> Expected result: ---------------- Expected result: {"success": "ok"} Actual result: -------------- Redirected to localhost:8000?q=1 and got {"documentId": 15} ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64433&edit=1
