I am trying to make a POST request to a URL using Curl but getting this error?

Question

ERROR:

Request Entity Too Large The requested resource /check.php does not allow request data with POST requests, or the amount of data provided in the request exceeds the capacity limit.

Whar could be the reason for this error? I think data size cannot be the reason and I know ./check.php accepts POST method. Is it like some security that is lmiting access?

regards, aqif

Answer 1

If you are forced to make a POST request without parameters, you can set them to empty string or array. That solved this issue for me.

Either

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, '');

Or

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, array());

Be aware that the latter of these resets the content-type header implicitly.

Answer 2

If you use curl_exec that you must set

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, **array()**);

If you'll miss that, so you'll have Error 413 Request Entity Too Large
