Open a https url on a special port ? (asp/ajax inside)

[Arnaud]

Hi,

I'm trying to translate an asp application in a php way, i'm using Php
4.3.x.
I'm going to try an asp newsgroup too, but as it mainly deals with Php, I
would like to submit you my probem :

I have to retrieve some XML datas from a server whose URL is built like that
:
https://myserver:4012/code/myapp?param1=3;

I tried fopen, fsockopen with no result.

So it's https, there is a port (4012 for example). Perhaps I forgot some
particular https parameters with my fopen and fsockopen tries ?

The original asp code is :
---
Set myxml = Server.CreateObject("Msxml2.ServerXMLHTTP.4.0")
' Opens the connection to the remote server :
xml.Open "GET", url, False
---

Php methods didn't work so I tried the ajax way :
if(window.XMLHttpRequest){
// Firefox, Safari, Opera...
req = new XMLHttpRequest();
} else if(window.ActiveXObject) {
// Internet Explorer 5+
req = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
} else {
alert('Problem creating the XMLHttpRequest object');
return false;
}
return req;

.... But i'm not sure the ActiveXObject is identical to the original :
Set myxml = Server.CreateObject("Msxml2.ServerXMLHTTP.4.0")

So if you have any ideas to do it with Php or any other technical ways, you
are welcome.

Thanks,
Arnaud

And where is the code that you've already tried but didn't work?

What exactly did you try and what kind of "no result" have you achieved
(error messages, etc.)?

Also, have you tried cURL?

Classical fsockopen or fopen :
if ($handle = fopen($url_complete, "r"))
echo 'ok';
else
echo 'ko';

I also tried several syntax with the fsockopen (ssl://...) but i always
obtain :
Warning: fsockopen(): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or
service not known (is your IPV6 configuration correct? If this error happens
all the time, try reconfiguring PHP using --disable-ipv6 option to
configure) in...

Not yet, but i'm looking at it, i can see in my phpinfo :
CURL support enabled
CURL Information libcurl/7.12.2 OpenSSL/0.9.7d zlib/1.1.4

But of course it didn't work... Have you even looked at fsockopen()
documentation? Check it out:

http://www.php.net/fsockopen

The correct usage of fsockopen() in your case would be something like
this:

$host = 'myserver';
$port = 4012;
$path = 'code/myapp?param1=3';
$fp = fsockopen($host, $port, $errno, $errstr);
if ($fp) {
fputs($fp, "GET $path HTTP/1.0\r\n");
fputs($fp, "Host: $host\r\n\r\n");
} else {
die ("Could not connect to $host on port $port: error $errno
($errstr)");
}
$data = '';
while (!feof ($fp)) {
$data .= fgets ($fp, 10240);
}
fclose ($fp);

Now $data should contain the entire HTTP response, including HTTP
headers...

Hi,
Yes, I tried that way too, but it didn't work either, the problem was a bad
ip, it's resolved now.
Thanks for your time and help.
