Unable to make php curl request with port number

Question

I am unable to make a php curl request with port number , without port number i am getting response properly.

Through terminal when i do curl http://www.sample.com:8088 i am getting response back properly. But not through php curl on doing curl_inf() i am getting

Array ( [url] => http://www.sample.com:8088/ [content_type] => [http_code] => 0 [header_size] => 0 [request_size] => 0 [filetime] => 0 [ssl_verify_result] => 0 [redirect_count] => 0 [total_time] => 0 [namelookup_time] => 0 [connect_time] => 0 [pretransfer_time] => 0 [size_upload] => 0 [size_download] => 0 [speed_download] => 0 [speed_upload] => 0 [download_content_length] => -1 [upload_content_length] => -1 [starttransfer_time] => 0 [redirect_time] => 0 [certinfo] => Array ( ) ) 

My code

$url = "http://www.sample.com:8088/";

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 400);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, True);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, True);
$report=curl_getinfo($ch);
print_r($report);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo $result;

this code give me response from ubuntu , but not giving response from cent os if port number is specified.

Please let me know the how to fix it.

THanks in advance.

Solution 1

Try to set the port like this:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PORT, $_SERVER['SERVER_PORT']);

or:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PORT, 8088);

Solution 2

Try to set

curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_PORT, 8088);

See more info http://php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt.php

Solution 3

Add

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PORT, 8088);

Curl_setopt reference

Solution 4

"setsebool httpd_can_network_connect on" resolves the problem for me

Solution 5

Make sure that the port 8080 is enabled in Cent OS

and try this curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PORT, 8088);

i tried with curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PORT, 8088); also but same result. I have also tried by removing curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PORT, 8088);

Disabling the entire SE Linux just to get curl to accept port numbers in the URL can't be a solution, a temp work-around at best but absolutely not something for the long run.

Ok, but why? Please add some kind of explanation to your answer so that others know why this worked for you.

This should NOT be an accepted answer. The answer by Mario should suffice.
