Hi Guys
This is probably a simple error, its just i've never dealt with these before and google didn't seem to give me any luck.

I'm installing a script and step 2 says:
After a successful authentication, it redirects the user back to the token_url at your website as specified in step 1. Write some code to handle requests to your token_url, and extract the token parameter.

Make the auth_info API call

HTTP POST to https://url.com (url edited) with the following required parameters:
apiKey Key Removed
token Use the token sent to your token_url

How can I post the data to the url and get the response that's produced? I can't really see where to go with this. A fopen() produced a "400 BAD REQUEST" response, and other than that I don't really know where to go, so any help would be highly appreciated.

Cheers
Matt

Thanks for that response. It seems to open external pages at the moment, so I've sieved through existing code and got a little bit further, but still not all the way. Just as a sample, I've included my request, the php code and the servers response. Any help would be brilliant. thanks

$token = $_GET['token'];

$fp = fsockopen("rpxnow.com", 443, $errno, $errstr, 5);
if (!$fp) {
echo "$errstr ($errno)<br />\n";
} else {
$out = "POST ssl://rpxnow.com/api/v2/auth_info?apiKey=REMOVED&token=".$token."&format=xml HTTP/1.0\r\n";
$out .= "Host: rpxnow.com\r\n";
$out .= "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n";
$out .= "Content-Length: 0\r\n";
$out .= "Connection: Close\r\n\r\n";
echo no_html($out).'<br/><br/>';
fwrite($fp, $out);
while (!feof($fp)) {
$data = fgets($fp, 128);
$data = no_html($data);
echo $data;
}
fclose($fp);
}

function no_html($s) {
$s = str_replace("<", "<", $s);
$s = str_replace(">", ">", $s);
$s = str_replace("\r\n", "<br/>", $s);
return($s);
}

Have also tried http:// and https:// as well as ssl:// after POST:
POST https://rpxnow.com/api/v2/auth_info?apiKey=REMOVED&token=REMOVED&format=xml HTTP/1.0
Host: rpxnow.com
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 0
Connection: Close

Just to let you know, when trying to send to a port 80, I get this:
HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently

Thanks once again!
And, as a side note, I'm not a good coder
