How to do curl Authentication?

[dskanth]

Hi, iam working on a curl based authentication and iam sending a curl request to one of my pages, like this:

<?php
$ch = curl_init("http://localhost/test.php");
        
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, 'myuser:mypwd'); 
// sending username and pwd.                   
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);                          
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);                           
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'Sample Code');
curl_setopt($curl, CURLINFO_HEADER_OUT, true);

$output = curl_exec($ch);
print_r(curl_getinfo($ch));      
curl_close($ch);
echo '<br><br>';
echo $output;
?>

But in my test.php page, iam not able to get the username and password values, in $_SERVER array.

What could be the problem?

Finally i realised that my php is installed as CGI. So it wont work directly. Had referred to http://www.besthostratings.com/artic...h-php-cgi.html and now i got the username and password values in $_SERVER array.
