I am using cURL over PHP to access an ASPX website. On my browser

  • 0

I am using cURL over PHP to access an ASPX website. On my browser it shows that upon request I get a 302 Found (which is redirecting actually to another site), and immediately another request to the redirect page.

On my cURL I always get the 200 OK, which is ironically wrong , as the next page I am accessing (immitating the redirect) returns a 500, prehaps something was done wrong in the previous page.

as a test I tried to access my own website on which I am redirecting the page. I also got a 200 OK on the curl_getinfo($curl); but the contents of the returned page showed specifically that the header was HTTP/1.1 302 Found
one more weird thing is that the curl_getinfo($curl); returns a 200 OK all the time, even when I access my own website when I actually know I am redirecting.

Any ideas why I get a 200 OK instead of a 302 on my curl_getinfo?

Thanks!

    In addition to the CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION answers:
    You can also set the CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION option and take a look at the redirect(s), e.g. via

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION, 'read_header');
...
curl_exec($ch);
...
function read_header($curl, $header) {
  echo $header;
  return strlen($header);
}

    With CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION enabled you should get an output like

    HTTP/1.0 301 Moved Permanently
Date: Fri, 20 Apr 2012 11:26:37 GMT
Server: Apache
Location: http://www.spiegel.de/
Content-Length: 230

Connection: close

    which in this case shows that a request for http://spiegel.de is redirected to http://www.spiegel.de
