I'm trying to send post data and receive an SID from an api(qbittorrent) to send with a get request later. I'm currently stuck with an OK response but the json is NULL. Here's my code:
<?php
$ch = curl_init();
$fields = array( 'username'=>'Admin','password'=>'mypassword');
$postvars = '';
foreach($fields as $key=>$value) {
$postvars .= $key . "=" . $value . "&";
}
$postvars = rtrim($postvars, '&');
$url = "https://192.123.123.123:8080/login";
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,$url);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
$headers= array('Accept: application/json','application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$postvars);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT ,3);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 20);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
var_dump(json_decode($response, true));
print "curl response is:" . $response;
curl_close ($ch);
?>
You can see the API documentaiton here https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/wiki/WebUI-API-Documentation#authorization
I was able to get the json using powershell as simply as :
$prms = @{username="Admin";password="mypassword"}
$res = Invoke-WebRequest https://192.123.123.123:8080/login -Method POST -Body prms -UseBasicParsing
but I'm unable to do so with php! If you also feel like heading me right for the get request using the SID as a cookie, i'll be more than welcome :)
