Show Curl POST Request Headers Is there a way to do this

Question

I m building a Curl web automation app and am having some issue with not getting the desired outcome of my POST action  I am having some trouble figuring out how I can show the full POST request I am sending over  with headers   I have been searching on this but everything that comes up is the response headers  actually I want these too but also the request  which none of the posts I find on google seem to mention    I know I can display the result of a curl request using something like this  forgive me if my syntax is off  I already shut down my virtual machine with my ide and code to refer to    result   curl  curl exect      Anyways  I would greatly appreciate any advice on how to view the full headers  thanks

You can see the information regarding the transfer by doing:

curl_setopt($curl_exect, CURLINFO_HEADER_OUT, true);

before the request, and

$information = curl_getinfo($curl_exect);

after the request

View: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.curl-getinfo.php

You can also use the CURLOPT_HEADER in your curl_setopt

curl_setopt($curl_exect, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);

$httpcode = curl_getinfo($c, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);

return $httpcode == 200;

These are just some methods of using the headers.

You can save all headers sent by curl to a file using     f   fopen  request txt    w    curl setopt  ch CURLOPT VERBOSE true   curl setopt  ch CURLOPT STDERR   f

You can make you request headers by yourself using      open a socket connection on port 80  fp   fsockopen  host  80       send the request headers  fputs  fp   POST  path HTTP 1 1 r n    fputs  fp   Host   host r n    fputs  fp   Referer   referer r n    fputs  fp   Content-type  application x-www-form-urlencoded r n    fputs  fp   Content-length     strlen  data     r n    fputs  fp   Connection  close r n r n    fputs  fp   data     result        while  feof  fp            receive the results of the request      result    fgets  fp  128         close the socket connection  fclose  fp     Like writen on how make request
