Problem with retrieving website content through cURL on HTTPs (SSL), Cookie, Username:Password

I'm having problems with cURL,

The problems are - not being able to connect through HTTPs (SSL) - not being able to store cookie - not being able to logging in using username:password

Are there anything like hierarchy on 'curl_setopt' ?

I hope I'll get the best answer. Thanks in advance

<?php
function get_url($url,$username,$password)
{
$curl = curl_init();

$header[0] = "Accept: text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,";
$header[0] .= "text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5";
$header[] = "Cache-Control: max-age=0";
$header[] = "Connection: keep-alive";
$header[] = "Keep-Alive: 300";
$header[] = "Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7";
$header[] = "Accept-Language: en-us,en;q=0.5";
$header[] = "Pragma: ";

$cookie = '/cookies.txt';
$timeout = 30;

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL,             $url);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERAGENT,       "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1" );

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_ENCODING,        'gzip,deflate'); 
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER,     true); 
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT,         10); 
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT,  $timeout );
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR,       $cookie);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE,      $cookie);

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD,         "$username:$password");

$responseHTML   = curl_exec($curl);
$response       = curl_getinfo( $curl );

curl_close($curl); // close the connection

//return $html; // and finally, return $html


if ($response['http_code'] == 301 || $response['http_code'] == 302)
{
    ini_set("user_agent", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1");

    if ( $headers = get_headers($response['url']) )
    {
        foreach( $headers as $value )
        {
            if ( substr( strtolower($value), 0, 9 ) == "location:" )
                return get_url( trim( substr( $value, 9, strlen($value) ) ) );
        }
    }
}

if (
    (preg_match("/>[[:space:]]+window\.location\.replace\('(.*)'\)/i", $content, $value) 
    || preg_match("/>[[:space:]]+window\.location\=\"(.*)\"/i", $content, $value))
    && $javascript_loop < 5
)
{
    return get_url( $value[1]开发者_开发问答, $javascript_loop+1 );
}
else

    return $responseHTML; //array( $content, $response );
}
}


$url = 'https://blog.example.com/wp-login.php';
$user = 'admin';
$pass = 'thesecurepassword123';

// uses the function and displays the text off the website
$text = get_url($url,$user,$pass);
echo $text;
?>

The username and password you are providing are for HTTP Authentication (have you ever visited a site where it pops up a small box like an alert box saying it needs a username and password?), but your URL looks like you are querying a wordpress login page. That's why you can't login with that username and password.

I believe wordpress takes login parameters as POST variables -- the username is taken as 'log' and password as 'pwd'. Try sending the username and password as these POST variables, that should work.
