Hi there,
I don't see an issue with the code, and as you said it works for
one user and not another. Can you tell me what users it does and does
not work for? A few other things you can try:
1. Change the password of the user it's not working for and trying
with the new password
2. Setting curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1) and send the standard
error output from your script (probably in the Apache error log,
unless you run from the command line)
» If you provide that info please be sure to obscure the
'Authorization' header so we don't all know your password.
Thanks;
