I'm trying to access mails of a user through Gmails OAuth 2.0, and I'm figuring this out through Google's OAuth 2.0 Playground
Here, they've specified I need to send this as a HTTP REQUEST:
POST /mail/feed/atom/ HTTP/1.1
Host: mail.google.com
Content-length: 0
Content-type: application/json
Authorization: OAuth SomeHugeOAuthaccess_tokenThatIReceivedAsAString
I've tried writing a code to send this REQUEST like this:
$crl = curl_init();
$header[] = 'Content-length: 0
Content-type: application/json';
curl_setopt($crl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $header);
curl_setopt($crl, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($crl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, urlencode($accesstoken));
$rest = curl_exec($crl);
print_r($rest);
Not working, please help. :)
UPDATE: I took Jason McCreary's advice and now my code looks like this:
$crl = curl_init();
$headr = array();
$headr[] = 'Content-length: 0';
$headr[] = 'Content-type: application/json';
$headr[] = 'Authorization: OAuth '.$accesstoken;
curl_setopt($crl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER,$headr);
curl_setopt($crl, CURLOPT_POST,true);
$rest = curl_exec($crl);
curl_close($crl);
print_r($rest);
But I'm not getting any output out of this. I think cURL is silently failing somewhere. Please do help. :)
UPDATE 2: NomikOS's trick did it for me. :) :) :) Thank you!!
@jason-mccreary is totally right. Besides I recommend you this code to get more info in case of malfunction:
$rest = curl_exec($crl);
if ($rest === false)
{
// throw new Exception('Curl error: ' . curl_error($crl));
print_r('Curl error: ' . curl_error($crl));
}
curl_close($crl);
print_r($rest);
EDIT 1
To debug you can set CURLOPT_HEADER to true to check HTTP response with firebug::net or similar.
curl_setopt($crl, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
EDIT 2
About Curl error: SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK try adding this headers (just to debug, in a production enviroment you should keep these options in true):
curl_setopt($crl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);
curl_setopt($crl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
You have most of the code…
CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER for curl_setopt() takes an array with each header as an element. You have one element with multiple headers.
You also need to add the Authorization header to your $header array.
$header = array();
$header[] = 'Content-length: 0';
$header[] = 'Content-type: application/json';
$header[] = 'Authorization: OAuth SomeHugeOAuthaccess_tokenThatIReceivedAsAString';
use "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" instead of "application/json"
