curl 401 Unauthorized error

Question

As shown in image when i am trying to run https://www.example.com/Push_Order.php?orderId=1562 It gives me 401 Unathorized error. But when I run this Url in browser it run well.

Any Idea where is my mistake or what i am missing?

PHP Curl Code

<?php

$ch = curl_init("https://www.example.com/Push_Order.php?orderId=1562");

curl_setopt($ch);

$response = curl_exec($ch);

curl_close($ch);
?>

and this Push_Order.php file contains only insert query.

Answer 1

It appears you have authorization enabled in Apache on your server but you don't realize it at the moment because your browser is caching the username and password for you.

You have to set the CURLOPT_USERPWD option like so:

<?php

$ch = curl_init("https://www.example.com/Push_Order.php?orderId=1562");

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "myusername:mypassword");

$response = curl_exec($ch);

curl_close($ch);
?>

(The empty curl_setopt($ch) was weird and a no-op at best anyway.)

In the command line it should work just like this (including the username and password in the URL):

curl https://myusername:[email protected]/Push_Order.php?orderId=1562
