# Ask php cli to parse HTTP request - Thread: https://externals.io/message/96914 - Original archive: https://news-web.php.net/php.internals/96914 - Started by Aaron Lewis on 2016-11-16T10:50:40+00:00 - Messages: 7 - Reply by email to internals@lists.php.net - More for agents: search with https://externals.io/search.md?q={query} · RFCs at https://externals.io/rfc.md · JSON API at https://externals.io/api · documentation at https://externals.io/llms.txt --- ## #96914 — Aaron Lewis — 2016-11-16T10:50:40+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/96914#96914 I have a file that contains a HTTP request, ``` GET /xxx.php Host: xxx Content-Type: xxx ... ``` I would like to ask PHP cli to parse the HTTP request from a file, and setup $_FILES, $_POST, $_SERVER etc. What should I do? I'm familiar with PHP extensions, so I'm capable of modifying SAPI myself. So far I've found sapi_post_entry, but I couldn't get the whole picture. Where's the entry point of request parsing? -- Best Regards, Aaron Lewis - PGP: 0x13714D33 - http://pgp.mit.edu/ Finger Print: 9F67 391B B770 8FF6 99DC D92D 87F6 2602 1371 4D33 --- ## #96915 — Joe Watkins — 2016-11-16T11:08:26+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/96914#96915 · In reply to: #96914 Morning, Ordinarily, we don't parse that stuff, because the server communicates via CGI/FCGI or some other server specific interface (apache). The CLI server does though, I'd look there for inspiration ... there's also an HTTP parser included in there ...

The Ultimate Web Scraper Toolkit over on GitHub can get you about 75% of the way there in pure userland in a few lines of application code with the WebServer class: https://github.com/cubiclesoft/ultimate-web-scraper/ Possible approach: $fp = fopen("/path/to/file.txt", "rb"); stream_set_blocking($fp, 0); $server = new WebServer(); // If you want to allow gzipped/deflated input. //$server->EnableCompression(true); // If you are actually processing file input... //$server->SetCacheDir("/path/to/cache/"); $client = $server->InitNewClient(); $client->fp = $fp; do { $result = $server->Wait(); if (count($result["removed"])) { // File contains an invalid request. // Maybe bail out more gently? echo "Invalid request.\n"; `exit()`; } } while (!$client->requestcomplete); // Now use $client's public variables 'cookievars' and 'requestvars' to load various superglobals. There isn't a pure structure though for $_GET and $_POST. ... `is_uploaded_file()`, `move_uploaded_file()`, sesssions, and other useful built-ins might also not work as expected. Hence the 75% metric from earlier. -- Thomas Hruska CubicleSoft President I've got great, time saving software that you will find useful. http://cubiclesoft.com/
