And the strange part: both codes echo the same string for $url!!! No, they don’t. Look at the page source. esc_url() is encoding the & control character. You can’t do that and expect the HTTP request to work correctly. Use esc_url_raw() instead. Note the description in the Codex concerning that function: The esc_url_raw() function is … Read more
Hell yeah it is – check out the HTTP API for more information: $http = wp_remote_get( ‘http://example.com’ ); $data = wp_remote_retrieve_body( $http ); // Carry on coding
So take this code: $bizt_a = json_decode(file_get_contents(“https://karteritesed.hu/biztositok.json”)); Separate it out so that we do 1 thing per line ( if you pass it straight into json_decode what happens if the request fails and that site is down? json_decode isn’t expecting an error message! It’s going to turn around and ask “What’s this?!” ) $json = … Read more
In case anyone has issues like I did, I found this discussion where I added the code and instantly was authenticated. Not sure if its a WordPress issue or a PHP one, but I feel that the ANY portion of the WordPress authentication was getting blocked first to find the Proxy type, but timing out. … Read more
If I’m reading the docs right, wp_remote_get() will return a WP_Error on failure, but not necessarily on a 404/400/403 (etc) status code from your remote server. (Though that will depend in part on what your remote server sends back if there’s an invalid request.) You can check the status code using wp_remote_retrieve_response_code(). I’d use something … Read more
One approach is to cast the objects as arrays. I recently had to do this in a project where I retrieved a list of articles and needed to display the featured image. There may be alternate ways to handle this issue, but I’ve found it to be reliable. Here is some relevant code from the … Read more
Check the docs. file_get_contents() and wp_remote_get() are not equivalent. file_get_contents() returns a string. wp_remote_get() returns either an array or a WP_Error object. You need to look at wp_remote_post() to see the format of that array: Array ( [headers] => Array ( [date] => Thu, 30 Sep 2010 15:16:36 GMT [server] => Apache [x-powered-by] => PHP/5.3.3 … Read more
There is no filter named “http_response_timeout” in the WordPress core. Where are you finding this filter name from? The timeout parameter as passed to a wp_remote call has a default of five seconds, and that default can be changed using the “http_request_timeout” filter, which is a different name than you used. Maybe you’re just using … Read more
This is probably the wrong place to get into the details of certificate verification, and I am not sure I understand all of it so this answer going to focus on the wordpress API. The issue with certificate verification is that you need a list of root certificates of the issuer companies in order to … Read more
Basically you got yourself a piece of code that blocks your PHP execution because it relies on external request wp_remote_get() to finish in order to continue. And the worst part is you do it on every request, unconditionally 🙂 Easiest solution for you right now probably is to store all HTML that is generated based … Read more
