php - cURL not fetching the expected POST response - error 405 -

i need fetch several charts highcharts export server (since haven't implemented feature on own server yet).

highcharts shows clear example here: http://export.highcharts.com/demo

i tried simulate form using curl command linux, successfully.

but, when trying run curl php (specifically cakephp controller), http error:

http status 405 - request method 'post' not supported

something wrong, since post method worked interactivelly navigator , curl command.

also, tested php script pointing posttestserver.com, site intended debugging result of post requests. result of test here: http://www.posttestserver.com/data/2014/03/10/10.18.221071980127

this code of method of cakephp controller:

public function obtenir() {      $ch = curl_init("http://export.highcharts.com/demo");      curl_setopt($ch, curlopt_post, true);     curl_setopt($ch, curlopt_postfields, array(             "content" => "options",             "options" => "%7b%0d%0a%09xaxis%3a+%7b%0d%0a%09%09categories%3a+%5b%27jan%27%2c+%27feb%27%2c+%27mar%27%2c+%27apr%27%2c+%27may%27%2c+%27jun%27%2c+%27jul%27%2c+%27aug%27%2c+%27sep%27%2c+%27oct%27%2c+%27nov%27%2c+%27dec%27%5d%0d%0a%09%7d%2c%0d%0a%09series%3a+%5b%7b%0d%0a%09%09data%3a+%5b29.9%2c+71.5%2c+106.4%2c+129.2%2c+144.0%2c+176.0%2c+135.6%2c+148.5%2c+216.4%2c+194.1%2c+95.6%2c+54.4%5d%0d%0a%09%7d%5d%0d%0a%7d%3b%0d%0a",             "type" => "image%2fpng",             "width" => "",             "scale" => "",             "constr" => "chart",             "callback" => "function%28chart%29+%7b%0d%0a%09chart.renderer.arc%28200%2c+150%2c+100%2c+50%2c+-math.pi%2c+0%29.attr%28%7b%0d%0a%09%09fill+%3a+%27%23fcffc5%27%2c%0d%0a%09%09stroke+%3a+%27black%27%2c%0d%0a%09%09%27stroke-width%27+%3a+1%0d%0a%09%7d%29.add%28%29%3b%0d%0a%7d%0d%0a%09%09%09",             ));     curl_setopt($ch, curlopt_httpheader, array("content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8"));     curl_setopt($ch, curlinfo_header_out, true);     curl_setopt($ch, curlopt_returntransfer, true);      $page = curl_exec($ch);      $head = curl_getinfo($ch, curlinfo_header_out);     debug($head);     debug($page);      curl_close($ch);  } 

the result of debug($page) html formatted text significant content:

http status 405 - request method 'post' not supported

what doing wrong?

thank much.

use http_build_query() post on post parameter array. otherwise recognized multipart form posting.

curl_setopt($ch, curlopt_postfields, http_build_query( array(...) )); 

please make sure post url correct.
