All,

I am having trouble requesting info from HTTPS site using CURL and PHP. I am using Solaris 10. It so happens that sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I am not sure what is the cause. If it doesn't work, this is the entry recorded in the verbose log:

* About to connect() to 10.10.101.12 port 443 (#0)
*   Trying 10.10.101.12... * connected
* Connected to 10.10.101.12 (10.10.101.12) port 443 (#0)
* error setting certificate verify locations, continuing anyway:
*   CAfile: /etc/opt/webstack/curl/curlCA
  CApath: none
* error:80089077:lib(128):func(137):reason(119)
* Closing connection #0

If it works, this is the entry recorded in the verbose log:

* About to connect() to 10.10.101.12 port 443 (#0)
*   Trying 10.10.101.12... * connected
* Connected to 10.10.101.12 (10.10.101.12) port 443 (#0)

My CURL options are as under:

    $ch = curl_init();

    $devnull = fopen('/tmp/curlcookie.txt', 'w');
    $fp_err = fopen('/tmp/verbose_file.txt', 'ab+');
    fwrite($fp_err, date('Y-m-d H:i:s')."\n\n");

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_STDERR, $devnull);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $desturl);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 0);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT,120);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_ENCODING, 'gzip,deflate');
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postdata);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE,1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_STDERR, $fp_err);

    $ret = curl_exec($ch);

Anybody has any idea, why it works sometimes but fails mostly?

Thanks
