[WHM] HTTP POST to scripts2/savezone

[NightRider]

Hello.

I have finally developed a php scipt for editing dns zone, for specified domain, without having direct access to whm.
The problem is how to send variables to scripts2/savezone via http post.
I used curl method:

$ch = curl_init(); 

$url = "http://user:password@domain.com/whm/scripts2/savezone"; 
$params = "&line-100-2=IN&line-200-1=NS&......"; 

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$params); 

$result= curl_exec ($ch); 
curl_close ($ch); 

And there are two results:

1. All fields for domain become empty or
2. WHM reports a fatal error [a fatal error or timeout occurred while processing this directive]

How do You suggest to send the updated data to script?

Thanks.

WHM developers, do you read? Answer something, please!
What HTTP conditions does scripts2/savezone need for successfull execution of the request?

I have also tried using access hash ( $curlheaders[0] = "Authorization: WHM user:hash"; ), but nothing

Note, as /scripts2 is designed for internal use rather than being used as an API - you may not receive much of a response to this thread. Note that all functions in /scripts2 are subject to change without notice as they are only intended for internal use.

I dont want to change the internal files. Simply I want to know how can I make the right request to /scripts2. I am able to use the remote client managing (creating, terminating, suspending etc.), but why I cant use the remote DNS managing???

1) This is not a means of support so it is not up to the developers to respond through here.
2) This is not a supported way of doing this. Most likely you are not passing the correct or all of the parameters.

I am very very sad....

I'm not sure why I'm even helping you as no one HAS to help. This is a 100% free forum and people can post where they like. Also it is hard to troubleshoot your code as you only gave us a small part. Here is some code for you. Hopefully it helps someone else out as well...

<?

    ######### Set up basic variables here #########
	$username = "root";
	$password = "123456";
	$ip = "208.74.121.52";
	$agent = "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0)";

	//build URL here
	$url = "http://".$username.":".$password."@".$ip.":2086/scripts2/savezone";

    ######### Set up all the field values here#########
	$fields = "line-100-2=IN&";
	$fields .= "line-200-1=NS&";
	$fields .= "another=more&";
	$fields .= "last_one=here";


    ######### Prepare curl settings and variables #########
	$ch=curl_init(); 
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION,1); 
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); 
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $fields); 
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 120); 
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $agent); 
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 0); 
	$buffer = curl_exec($ch);
	curl_close($ch);

?>

Try that and then let us know how it works. If it doesn't work...research a little more and also post ALL of your code.

It works!
wsenter, if You need free quality hosting, please let me know

Of course it works. I'm a genius . No in all seriousness I actually love developing custom applications to interact with cPanel. Now if I could only do professionally for a job

Let me know if you need anything else. Strange as it sounds I think this stuff is fun.
