I'm able to run the following curl command (at the command line) successfully:
curl -XPOST --basic -u user:password -H accept:application/json -H Content-type:application/json --data-binary '{ "@queryid" : 1234 }' http://localhost/rest/run?10
Here is what I'm doing so far however it doesn't seem to be working with the REST service I'm using:
$headers = array(
'Accept: application/json',
'Content-Type: application/json',
);
$url = 'http://localhost/rest/run?10';
$query = '{ "@queryid" : 1234 }';
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "user:password");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PUT, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $query);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE, strlen($query));
$output = curl_exec($ch);
echo $output;
What is the correct way when trying to convert --data-binary using a PUT method?
Instead of creating a temp file on disk you can use php://temp
.
$body = 'the RAW data string I want to send';
/** use a max of 256KB of RAM before going to disk */
$fp = fopen('php://temp/maxmemory:256000', 'w');
if (!$fp)
{
die('could not open temp memory data');
}
fwrite($fp, $body);
fseek($fp, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_INFILE, $fp); // file pointer
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_INFILESIZE, strlen($body));
The upside is no disk IO so it should be faster and less load on your server.
Hi all I got it working using this configuration:
// Start curl
$ch = curl_init();
// URL for curl
$url = "http://localhost/";
// Clean up string
$putString = stripslashes($query);
// Put string into a temporary file
$putData = tmpfile();
// Write the string to the temporary file
fwrite($putData, $putString);
// Move back to the beginning of the file
fseek($putData, 0);
// Headers
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
// Binary transfer i.e. --data-BINARY
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
// Using a PUT method i.e. -XPUT
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PUT, true);
// Instead of POST fields use these settings
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_INFILE, $putData);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_INFILESIZE, strlen($putString));
$output = curl_exec($ch);
echo $output;
// Close the file
fclose($putData);
// Stop curl
curl_close($ch);
:)
All all that needs to be set is the custom request to reuse post method.
CURLOPT_URL=>$url,
CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST=>'PUT',
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS=>$params,
