#10041 — cURL and response code 302

when I have cUrl seet up with CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION =>FALSE,
I am getting a 302, moved temporarily.

How do I find out the URL it is being redirected to ?
The effectiveURL that is returned is the one I sent the request to.

The "Location" response header contains the desired URL.

See:
<http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html#sec10.3>

Thanks, is there a way to obtain the Location response header 
from cURL ?

Maybe this example in the documentation may help:

<http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.curl-exec.php#80442>

actually, suggesting that I look at curlopt_header would have 
been more clear.

Maybe - but since it is also neccessary to check the header size to
separate the header from the body I refered to the example. And finally
you got the right hint - didn't you? ;-)

I don't know if I got it or not.  Perhaps you could be a bit more 
clear ?

using:

function curl_getNoFollow($url, array $get = NULL, array $options 
= array() ){
     $defaults = array(
         CURLOPT_HEADER => 0,
         CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => TRUE,
         CURLOPT_FORBID_REUSE => 1,
         CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 30,
		CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER =>0,
		CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE => '/tmp/cookies.txt',
		CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR=> '/tmp/cookies.txt',
		CURLOPT_HEADER 	=>TRUE,
		CURLINFO_HEADER_OUT => TRUE,
		CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION	=>FALSE,
		CURLOPT_USERAGENT =>'Mosilla/5.0(Windows NT 6.1,;WOW64,rv21.0) 
Gecko/20100101 Firefox/21.0)',
		);
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt ($ch,CURLOPT_URL,  $url);
curl_setopt_array($ch, ($options + $defaults));

$result = curl_exec($ch);

$eurl = curl_getinfo($ch,CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_URL);
$http =curl_getinfo($ch,CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);

$resultx =array($result,  $eurl, $http,); //  result is an 
array($result, $eurl, $http)
     curl_close($ch);
	
    return $resultx;
}

I get:
url: http://www.mydomain.com/login/login.cfm, http: 302

note the lack of information about the refer to address, which I 
need so I can follow.

A quick & dirty example without any error handling etc. - just to get
the idea:

<?php
$options = array(
	CURLOPT_URL => 'http://mydomain.example/foobar',
	CURLOPT_HEADER => true,
	CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => false,
	CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true
);

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($ch, $options);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
$resultcode = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
$url = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_URL);

if($resultcode == 302)
	$redirect = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL);
else
	$redirect = '';

echo 'Effective URL: '.$url.'<br/>';
echo 'HTTP result code: '.$resultcode.'<br/>';
echo 'Redirection: '.$redirect.'<br/>';

curl_close($ch);
?>

See in action at <http://arnowelzel.de/samples/curl-sample.php>

CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL is not in the documentation but it was added in
PHP 5.3.7. Also see <http://php.net/ChangeLog-5.php>.

If this does not work for you (e.g. because you have an older PHP
version), you have to extract the location header "manually".

that helps.  The php I have available is 5.3, so hints at 
extracting it "manually?"

With thanks and appreciation.

In the example above you will get the headers in $result.

With curl_getinfo(CURLINFO_HEADER_SIZE) you can also check how long the
header part in $result is (beginning with the first character), so

$headers = substr($result, curl_getinfo(CURLINFO_HEADER_SIZE));

should give you all headers.

HTTP headers are in the form

Header1: Value
Header2: Value
[...]

And the redirection URL is

Location: URL

So try to find the "Location: " part and use the remaining text up to
the line break.

BTW: Using tools like the Firebug AddOn for Firefox help a lot to
understand HTTP headers.

Thanks much.  Yes I do use Firebug and it is helpful.  Just can't 
use it with cURL.

I am going to try to upgrade to php5 version 5.4 later today.

Again, thanks for the help.

Actually, suggesting that you RTFM yourself would have been most clear. 
I understand not knowing about Location and HTTP spec, and not knowing 
where to look for that.  You should learn how to find things in 
libraries that you're using though.

Actually, I not only read the manual, I studied it (and the 
coments) and still missed curlopt_header.... (as usual) until I 
had sent my first message.

Sometimes when you are new to an area it is hard to 
find/understand the fine print.

I like to think of the premise that if you don't know what you don't 
know, you don't know what there is to know.
