Unexpected "Unsupported protocol: HTTPS" error in Apache/PHP/curl
 
I have encountered a frustrating bug trying to POST to an HTTPS site using curl in PHP running Apache under RedHat Enterprise Linux 5.

REDHAT LINUX: Linux bsawebserver 2.6.18-92.1.10.el5 #1 SMP Wed Jul 23 03:56:11 EDT 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
APACHE: Apache 2.2.3
PHP: php 5.1.6-20.el5_2.1.x86_64
CURL: curl 7.15.5-2.el5
OPENSSL: openssl 0.9.8b-10el5

When I try to POST from the PHP/curl code running in an Apache web page (code shown below) I get a curl error message:

Unsupported protocol: https(1)

However, if I use EXACTLY the same parameters in a command-line call to curl it works perfectly. (e.g. # curl -d "<named value string>" target_site) AND, if I put the code into a file named HTTPS_TEST.php (see below) and run it on the server like # php ./HTTPS_TEST.php it works perfectly. Curl is enabled in PHP as shown in the results of phpinfo() below, and according to the results of the curl_version() call also shown below, curl is configured to connect to https sites.

Does anyone have any idea why the https protocol isn't recognized from within an Apache web page, but will work using command-line curl or even using command-line PHP? Is there a configuration parameter set incorrectly in Apache somewhere? This is maddening.

=================================================================
PHP PROGRAM CODE (SNIPPET FROM WHERE ERROR APPEARS):

// setting the curl parameters.
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $API_Endpoint);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);

// turning off the server and peer verification(TrustManager Concept).
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, FALSE);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);

// NVPRequest for submitting to server
$nvpreq = "METHOD=$methodName_&VERSION=$version&PWD=$API_Password&USER=$API_UserName&SIGNATURE=$API_Signature$ nvpStr_";

// setting the nvpreq as POST FIELD to curl
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $nvpreq);

// getting response from server
$httpResponse = curl_exec($ch);

ERROR REPORTED HERE -- "UNSUPPORTED PROTOCOL: HTTPS(1)" >>>>>
if(!$httpResponse)
{
exit("PPHttpPost - $methodName_ failed: ".curl_error($ch).'('.curl_errno($ch).')');
}



================================================================
CONTENTS OF FILE HTTPS_TEST.php, WHICH WORKS PERFECTLY WHEN CALLED ON COMMAND LINE LIKE # php ./HTTPS_TEST.php

<?php
$method_name = "SetExpressCheckout";
$version = urlencode("52.0");
$API_Password = urlencode("xxxxxxxx");
$API_UserName = urlencode("xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx");
$API_Signature = urlencode("xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx");
$nvpStr_ = "&Amt=19.95&ReturnUrl=http%3A%2F%2F71.33.78.4%2FPaid.php&CANCELURL=http%3A%2F%2F71.33.78.4%2FCart.ph p&PAYMENTACTION=Sale&CURRENCYCODE=USD";

// setting the curl parameters.
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://api-3t.sandbox.paypal.com/nvp");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);

// turning off the server and peer verification(TrustManager Concept).
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, FALSE);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);

// NVPRequest for submitting to server
$nvpreq = "METHOD=$method_name&VERSION=$version&PWD=$API_Password&USER=$API_UserName&SIGNATURE=$API_Signature$ nvpStr_";

// setting the nvpreq as POST FIELD to curl
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $nvpreq);

// getting response from server
$httpResponse = curl_exec($ch);

NO ERROR AT THIS POINT!!!

if(!$httpResponse)
{
exit("PPHttpPost - $methodName_ failed: ".curl_error($ch).'('.curl_errno($ch).')');
}

else
{
print_r($httpResponse);
}
?>

Have you ruled out SELinux?

Try it with

setenforce 0

before turning it back on with

setenforce 1

Tried shutting off SELinux -- no dice
 
Thanks much billymayday for the suggestion. I had been keeping an eye on SELinux via the log, but this time I tried shutting it off. Even after restarting Apache I still get the same error. How does curl know whether or not it's being called from within Apache? That has to be the key, since the same code that's in the web page works either directly as command-line curl or indirectly as command-line PHP.

I guess if it's being called from apache it's being run as the apache user.

I suggested the SELinux thing because half the time it's the last thing I remember to check (you'd think I'd learn), which would be OK if it were also the first, but it rarely is.

You should change your distro in your profile (what's Redhat 8?)

Apache is compiled against the libcurl libraries.

Code:

curl
CURL support enabled
CURL Information libcurl/7.15.5 OpenSSL/0.9.8b zlib/1.2.3 libidn/0.6.5

The curl function calls you make at the beginning of your php program initialize the curl data structures needed. Much of the code that apache links against (libcurl) will be shared with the command line curl; apache does not call the command line curl, so the behavior between the two can be different (as you experience).

I don't have an answer for why your php program is failing.

Mea Culpa
 
MEA CULPA! MEA CULPA! After trying everything else I began to suspect a bug in the Apache code. I patched in the manually edited code that works in command-line and tried it, and suddenly it works in Apache! The problem all along was an extraneous space in the MySQL field containing the URL. The error wasn't that the "HTTPS" protocol is unsupported, it was that " HTTPS" (with leading space) is unsupported. I'm so used to C# where you trim everything nicely before using it that I never looked at the actual string.

SORRY TO BOTHER YOU! THIS THREAD IS CLOSED. You can delete it if you like, since it's unlikely to be of use to anyone.

I just ran into this problem. Thanks for posting the solution!
