Normal proxies (ex: 72.41.132.22:3128
) work well with cURL, however when I use SOCKS 5 proxies with username/pass, It just gives me "[1" on the page.
Is there a way to use SOCKY 5 proxies with cURL ?
$proxy = "cagsan:jw22wdw@108.61.25.223:34792";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, $proxy);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
$curl_scraped_page = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
You need to tell cURL the proxy is a SOCKS5 proxy, otherwise cURL assumes it's an HTTP proxy:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE, CURLPROXY_SOCKS5);
From the docs:
CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE
Either CURLPROXY_HTTP (default) or CURLPROXY_SOCKS5.
since cURL 7.21.7, you can use CURLOPT_PROXY
and specify the SOCKS protocol:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, 'socks5://bob:marley@localhost:12345');
More informations in the libcurl documentation.
For those looking to connect via a hostname(localhost?), and it's not working with CURLPROXY_SOCKS5
, you can try CURLPROXY_SOCKS5_HOSTNAME
.
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE, CURLPROXY_SOCKS5_HOSTNAME);
In some earlier PHP versions, you will have to do:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE, 7);
