PHP CURL GET/POST Digest authentication


I am using curl method to fetch data from REST API. API requires digest authenticate. I have done digest authenticate but not working for post method. Working fine for GET method.

$username = 'username';
$password = 'password';

$method = 'GET';
// $method = 'POST';

//  FOR POST METHOD. API REQUIRE THIS FORMAT
// $fields = array('APIRquestData' => '{"name":"value","name1":["v4","v5"]}');

$url = "http://apiurl/getmethodname";
// $url = "http://apiurl/postmethodname";

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, false);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 30);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 30);
if($method == 'POST')
{
  $fieldsData = http_build_query($fields);
  curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $fieldsData);
}

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1)
$first_response = curl_exec($ch);
$info = curl_getinfo($ch);

preg_match('/WWW-Authenticate: Digest (.*)/', $first_response, $matches);

if(!empty($matches))
{
  $auth_header = $matches[1];
  $auth_header_array = explode(',', $auth_header);
  $parsed = array();

  foreach ($auth_header_array as $pair)
  {
    $vals = explode('=', $pair);
    $parsed[trim($vals[0])] = trim($vals[1], '" ');
  }

  $response_realm     = (isset($parsed['realm'])) ? $parsed['realm'] : "";
  $response_nonce     = (isset($parsed['nonce'])) ? $parsed['nonce'] : "";
  $response_opaque    = (isset($parsed['opaque'])) ? $parsed['opaque'] : "";

  $authenticate1 = md5($username.":".$response_realm.":".$password);
  $authenticate2 = md5($method.":".$url);

  $authenticate_response = md5($authenticate1.":".$response_nonce.":".$authenticate2);

  $request = sprintf('Authorization: Digest username="%s", realm="%s", nonce="%s", opaque="%s", uri="%s", response="%s"',
  $username, $response_realm, $response_nonce, $response_opaque, $url, $authenticate_response);

  $request_header = array($request);

  $ch = curl_init();
  curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL, $url);
  curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
  curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);
  curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
  curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, false);
  curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 30);
  curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 30);

  if($method == 'POST')
  {
    $fieldsData = http_build_query($fields);
    curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $fieldsData);
  }
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $request_header);

  $result['response']         = curl_exec($ch);
  $result['info']             = curl_getinfo ($ch);
  $result['info']['errno']    = curl_errno($ch);
  $result['info']['errmsg']   = curl_error($ch); 
}


/*

)
*/

Response says that, 404 means URL not found. But URL is correct.

cURL Information 7.40.0

Thanks in advance.


Solution

  • Instead of hitting first curl use get_headers($url).

    add Content-Type:application/json in header.

    add $request_header[] = 'Content-Type:application/json'; this line after $request_header = array($request).
