how to set "REFERER" in Zend_Http_Client?


Hi I am using Zend_Http_Client with adapter Zend_Http_Client_Adapter_Curl , I tried setting REFERER using

  $client = new Zend_Http_Client('http://www.example.com',array('adapter'=>'Zend_Http_Client_Adapter_Curl');
        $client->getAdapter()->setCurlOption('CURLOPT_REFERER','http://www.google.com');
$client->request('POST');
echo $client->getLastRequest();

In my Request I see all kinds of header getting set except REFERER header ?? It can be done using $client->setHeaders('Referer',$url); also but I am looking for a better way. Thanks.


Solution

  • What is interesting about your code is that I just tried to run it and a got errors. So I could not test it. For this reason, I tried another way:

        $adapter = new Zend_Http_Client_Adapter_Curl();
        $adapter->setCurlOption(CURLOPT_REFERER, 'http://www.google.com');
    
        $client = new Zend_Http_Client('http://www.example.com');      
        $client->setAdapter($adapter);            
    
        $client->request('POST');
        var_dump($client->getLastRequest());
    

    The above code results in:

    string 'GET /domains/example/ HTTP/1.1    
    Accept: */*    
    Referer: http://www.google.com     <-- THE REFERER
    Host: www.iana.org    
    Connection: close    
    Accept-encoding: gzip, deflate    
    User-Agent: Zend_Http_Client
    
    
    ' (length=180)
    

    So in this case it seems Referer header is set correctly.

    EDIT: On the OP's request I also tested:

        $adapter = new Zend_Http_Client_Adapter_Curl();
    
        $client = new Zend_Http_Client('http://www.example.com');
        $client->setAdapter($adapter);
    
        $client->getAdapter()->setCurlOption(CURLOPT_REFERER, 'http://www.google.com');
    
        // This line below results in error:  
        // $client->getAdapter()->setCurlOption('referer', 'http://www.google.com');
    
        $client->request('POST');
        var_dump($client->getLastRequest());
    

    This also works as before.
