cURL Cookie Trouble

[tparkin]

I'm working on a PHP script that uses cURL and cookies. It runs fine on my local machine and writes all of about 5 variables to the cookie. When I run it on my shared hosting, only 2 of the variables are written to the cookie and they don't have the correct values. I am using the same version of PHP and have also tested this on the latest version of PHP. Does anyone have any advice on what might be causing this change in behavior?

Thanks in advance.

Just thought this might help illustrate what the real problem is. Here are the HTTP headers from my request. The first are from my local machine, the second is from my shared hosting. You can see that after cURL resolves the 302, it gets the correct document on my local machine but goes to an error page instead on my shared hosting.

I just tested this with another host and it works fine there. That host is running an older version PHP but has a more recent version of cURL and OpenSSL. I am now certain that this is the problem. Could you please upgrade to the latest version of cURL and OpenSSL? Thanks in advance.

Hello,

If you could open up a support ticket for this matter, we will gladly investigate the feasibility of upgrading these for you.

Thanks.

I am not sure those headers could be delivered by our shared hosting servers because the server line is wrong. It should read something along the lines of:

Server: Apache/1.3.34 (Unix) PHP/4.4.2 mod_ssl/2.8.25 OpenSSL/0.9.7a mod_perl/1.29 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635

Your server responses seem to come from a server that identifies itself as:

Server: WebLogic 5.1.0 Service Pack 12 04/14/2002 23:14:36 #178459 - 128 bit domestic version

You might want to double check you're communicating with the right system or looking at the right headers.
