(PHP ActiveX) Debugging HTTPTo debug a failed HTTP request or an unexpected response, start by gathering more information about the event.
The Chilkat Http class provides several properties to assist in this process.
The most valuable is the
Additionally, the standard
There are other properties for quick and accessible details, such as
<?php // This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked. // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code. $http = new COM("Chilkat.Http"); // This example demonstrates session logging via the // SessionLogFilename property. It also examines the // contents of the LastErrorText and a few other properties // to see what transpired in a seemingly simple HTTP GET request. $http->SessionLogFilename = 'c:/temp/qa_output/httpSessionLog.txt'; // The "http://www.paypal.com" URL was chosen on // purpose to demonstrate the potential complexity // of a seemingly simple HTTP GET request and response. // // In this case, the initial response is a 302 redirect to // "https://www.paypal.com/" because all communication // with PayPal must be over SSL/TLS. The Chilkat HTTP // FollowRedirects property defaults to 1, causing the // redirect to be followed automatically. // The request is resent using SSL/TLS and the response // received is a complex one: it is both Gzipped (compressed) // and "chunked". Internally, Chilkat automatically handles // the decompression and the re-composing of the chunked // response to return the simple HTML page that is the result. $html = $http->quickGetStr('http://www.paypal.com/'); // Looking at the httpSessionLog, we can see the initial // HTTP request, the 302 response, the subsequent // HTTP GET request to follow the redirect, and the final // gzipped/chunked response: // ---- Sending Wed, 20 Aug 2025 11:10:12 GMT ---- // GET / HTTP/1.1 // Host: www.paypal.com // Accept: */* // Accept-Encoding: gzip // // // ---- Received Wed, 20 Aug 2025 11:10:12 GMT ---- // HTTP/1.1 302 Found // Connection: close // Content-Length: 0 // Server: Varnish // Retry-After: 0 // Location: https://www.paypal.com/us/home // Accept-Ranges: bytes // Date: Wed, 20 Aug 2025 11:10:13 GMT // Via: 1.1 varnish // X-Served-By: cache-chi-klot8100033-CHI // X-Cache: HIT // X-Cache-Hits: 0 // Server-Timing: content-encoding;desc="",x-cdn;desc="fastly" // // // ---- Sending Wed, 20 Aug 2025 11:10:12 GMT ---- // GET /us/home HTTP/1.1 // Host: www.paypal.com // Accept: */* // Accept-Encoding: gzip // // // ---- Received Wed, 20 Aug 2025 11:10:12 GMT ---- // HTTP/1.1 200 OK // Connection: keep-alive // x-content-type-options: nosniff // cache-control: max-age=0, no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate // timing-allow-origin: * // ... // ... // content-encoding: gzip // ... // ... // transfer-encoding: chunked // // 2ef4 // ... // ... // ... ?> |
