@sergio

Shared hosting should be irrelevant (unless they’ve limited PHP so you can’t use what you need to).

If you’ve only got a HTML option for saving, you’re not following the instructions in the original article. Use Firefox and follow the instructions carefully; there will be a PEM option.

Regards,
Tom.

Does this article apply for shared hostings?

If I create the PEM file I’ll be only able to save it in html/, not above that.

Doesn’t that endangers the certificate?

Thanks.

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, “https://www.google.com/accounts/ClientLogin”);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);

‘Email’ => ‘palani@xxxxxx.com’,
‘Passwd’ => ‘xxxxxxxx’,

How do i authenticate a Google site through PHP?

The following are the code snippet
‘GOOGLE’,
‘Email’ => ‘palani@xxxxxx.com’,
‘Passwd’ => ‘xxxxxxxx’,
‘service’=>’jotspot’,
‘source’=>”,
);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);

$hasil = curl_exec($ch);
echo $hasil;

$authRaw = strstr($hasil, “Auth”);
$authToken = substr($authRaw, 5);

$headers = array(“Authorization: GoogleLogin auth=$authToken”);

//echo $headers;
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);

$ch = curl_init(“https://sites.google.com/a/thecuriousminds.net/parents-corner/”);

$hasil = curl_exec($ch);
echo $hasil;
curl_close($ch);
?>

Getting the Auth tockens:
Auth=DQAAAOEAAAAoFK1cwuepXgZyQhQG58ZeFsZ9RGtNkoFOJlsjAL3h5sc0-m5vwcjBNSTWooYd-JT2huuy_NeSUCrvA1_5_QjH6QsRWLkQfy6Cun81TVzDk4JAWyNz7lq7dM5gs2_0-ncHeq117bI2b09f2VVaolJnkrWO21KL_rw7c_IQZjpT_PoIL3_opUoLvJMvgz1xMWQB6Thpvv8TngPB1UiCw5E10JIEetl0l6mlzobmv77Zq1s3uAGu1tQ–J8NWANv5NPPANEqckSsIOtWoBVdZ2AZ5JOKYeeKAp9cDcwVivaY5w9lughsxVqdm4MekUL502I

I had all this working against a specific_site before we renewed our SSL certificate on a specific_site. I thought I just needed either a single openssl command (which I thought I initially used) or the Firefox export method (described in this article) to grab the new certificate from the specific_site.

The Firefox export method gave me a .pem file similar to the old one, but no joy.

Just for grins, I changed CURLOPT_CAINFO to CURLOPT_CAPATH as mentioned by “70. Timbo” and now it works! Also, I only used either CURLOPT_CAINFO or CURLOPT_CAPATH, and never both. Documentation on CURLOPT_CAPATH says you need to use the c_rehash utility, but I point to the file, not the directory, and like I said, it works.

Our PHP version and openssl and curl have not changed. As far as I know, only the new SSL certificate changed.

WTF?!
