The API you're posting to requires a specific content-type, and you are providing the wrong one.  CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER is the option you must use to set the proper content type.

 

Also, why is your XML all encoded like this?

hi, thanks for the reply, how am i going to use the curlopt_httpheader for this particular request?

 

btw is this the correct format?

 

<?php
$request = "<?xml version='1.0'?><request>
<authentication>
<username>username</username>
<password>password</password>
</authentication>
<operation>getResellerProducts</operation>
<params>
<int>22</int>
</params>
</request>";

$url = urlencode( "https://testapi.ssl.trustwave.com/3.0/");  
// fake - obviosly!

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $request); 
// what to post
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER, 1); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

print $result;
?>

I have no idea what the correct format is, nor do I know what the correct header is...because of the two of us, only you have access to the documentation for this API.

hi,

 

i tried curl

$request = 'URL';
$method = 'myMethod';
$username = 'myusername';
$password = 'mypassword';
$rsId = 12345;
$postargs = 'operation='.$method.'&rsId='.$rsId;

$postFields = $postargs;
$ch = curl_init($request);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $request);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "myUsername:myPassword");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postFields);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
   curl_close($ch);
   print_r($result);

 

but the result is blank, all blank page.

 

anyone please guide me

 

thanks in advance
