Looks like I'll have to wait it out. I've been searching around for ways to do this without curl and I'm coming up totally empty. The only things I've found are scripts like this: http://www.xiven.com/sourcecode/digestauthentication
But that is something that goes on the server I am connecting to, not the other way around.
FWIW, this is the code I am using:
><?
$url = "http://some.url.com";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "username:password");
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo $result;
?>
I've also tried using the following, but this is what requires the newer version of Curl:
><?
$return = `/usr/bin/curl -u username:password http://some.url.com --digest`;
echo $return;
?>
I just can't seem to find anything using PHP that doesn't require Curl. The company I am trying to connect to has never had anyone use PHP to connect before. They have examples using Java, but I know nothing about Java or if it's installed on the server or anything.
