使用POST方法的file_get_contents（）显示为GET？

Question

Using Google App Engine, when calling my API using POST method, it shows as GET - why?

This is my code:

function call_api($client_id, $client_secret, $data) {
    $api_url = 'http://myapp.com/api.php';

    $options = array(
        'http' => array(
            'header' => "Authorization: Basic " . Base64_encode("$client_id:$client_secret") . "
Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
",
            'method' => 'POST',
            'content' => http_build_query($data)
        )
    );
    $context = stream_context_create($options);
    $result = file_get_contents($api_url, false, $context);
    return $result;
}

The first line of api.php is:

echo "<pre>"; print_r($_SERVER); echo "</pre>";

And within that output, I see:

[REQUEST_METHOD] => GET

How/why could this be happening?

It's also worth mentioning that the method shows as POST when testing this code on GAE's SDK.

Answer 1

I worked it out and I need to answer my own question because it's a doozy!!

Whilst the url is http $api_url = 'http://myapp.com/api.php';, as per everything else, the GAE app.yaml file serves all scripts as https as per:

- url: /(.+\.php)$
  script: \1
  secure: always

This means that the page that calls my function above is https so the api call doesn't like the request because of Cross-orgin source sharing.

The solution was to simply change the $api_url to be https.
