I'm building a testing tool and I need to be able to send a variable in a http request to my ingester, which should be working just fine.
The problem is it is dreadfully easy to figure out how to READ 'Accept-Monkeys: Basic capuchin; rhesus' but it like pulling teeth to find a way to SEND it...
Basically I want the PHP equivalent of the ColdFusion CFHTTPPARAM:
<cfhttp method="get" url="http://127.0.0.1/monkeycheck" >
<cfhttpparam name="Accept-Monkeys" type="Header" value="Basic Capuchin; Rhesus">
</cfhttp>
Ideally I don't want the content, I want to GO there... but if I have too, I would take a CFHTTP response and display it.
(Incidentally, this is in Drupal, if it matters, but I read [possibly inaccurately] that there is no way to do this in Drupal)
cURL:
$ch = curl_init('http://monkeymaster.com/getmonkeys.php');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
'Accept-Monkeys: Basic Capuchin; Rhesus',
'Another-Header: yep'
));
curl_exec($ch);
Stream Wrapper:
$opts = array(
'http'=>array(
'header'=>"Accept-Monkeys: Basic Capuchin; Rhesus
" .
"Cookie: foo=bar
"
)
);
$context = stream_context_create($opts);
$fp = fopen('http://monkeymaster.com/getmonkeys.php', 'r', false, $context);
fpassthru($fp);
fclose($fp);
Look into the header function.
header("Accept-Monkeys : Basic Capuchin; Rhesus");
