asked on
cUrl between two web server locks when payload is given
This is the code:
Whenever I enable sending the payload the server where the API is executed doesn't receive any call while if I don't send any payload (and modify the api on the receiver server) the called server does receive the call.
Any idea why this could happen or something I forgot to check?
public static function callApiUpdate($hostname, $ip)
{
$service_url = 'http://blablabla.com/api/updateDdns';
$ch = curl_init($service_url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "PUT");
/*
$payload = array(
'hostname' => $hostname,
'ip' => $ip,
);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER,array('Content-Type: application/json'));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,CJSON::encode($payload));
*/
$response = curl_exec($ch);
/*
if ($response === false) {
$info = curl_getinfo($ch);
curl_close($ch);
}
*/
curl_close($ch);
}Whenever I enable sending the payload the server where the API is executed doesn't receive any call while if I don't send any payload (and modify the api on the receiver server) the called server does receive the call.

Found an answer directly in Yii.
Couple of things to try.
1) Ensure your protocol is correct. You're using http: rather than https:, so anyone can listen in on your conversation + modify data.
Likely this should be https.
2) First get your entire conversation working using command line curl.
This may give you a clue as to what's occurring.
3) You have no error checking for any of your curl*() calls, so there's no way to tell what's occurring.
Add in return code checking for all your curl*() calls + they may also provide you clues to exact point of failure.
