[Solved]401 HTTP Error Curl PHP

Question

Hello,

Im trying to do this for uploading an image into a product in Prestashop: ...

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $key.':');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, array('image' => '@'.$image_path));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

... But always I got an HTTP 1.1 401 Error. Server:Nginx

In my old VPS was working good,just Apache, but now not. I think is something related with Nginx server, which is not allowing this kind of request.

Any idea?

Thanks

401 means that the URL to which you're trying to post requires authentication credentials that you either are not providing, or are not providing in the correct manner.

First, verify that the credentials that you provding in $key are correct.

If they are, then try adding either of the following lines before your CURLOPT_USERPWD line:

curl_setopt($curl_conn, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC);

or

curl_setopt($curl_conn, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_ANY);

I'm providing the key in $key. As I tell before, in Apache server was working so i dont know what is the problem with Nginx server.

I tried it and still the same error :S

I'm starting to think you're simply passing the wrong credentials.

$key should contain a string like 'username:password'. You're adding a colon to the end of it, like 'username:password:'. Maybe try it without the ending colon?

If that doesn't work, then I suggest that you open a support ticket and give us the exact details and steps we would need to reproduce the problem, and we'll try to assist that way.
