I can't get the following curl to fetch my cpanel web page. Is it because I'm using an IP address? Does curl not work with IP addresses?

Thanks

PHP Code:

     $ch = curl_init(); 
     curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:2083/frontend/x3/index.html"); 
     curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 0); 
     curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "username:password"); 
     curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); 
     curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 0); 
     $view = curl_exec($ch); 
     print $view; 
     curl_close($ch); 


cURL should work fine with an IP address. Using curl_error might shed some light on why its not working.

Yes Dear its not the problem which type of domain you are using PHP always depands upone the server not on the domain.

I think with cURL you have to specify the port via curl_setopt(). Also as your sending a username and passed you need to tell cURL. For example:

PHP Code:

$ch = curl_init(); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:2083/frontend/x3/index.html"); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 0); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "username:password"); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); 
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 0); // Took out this - I would leave it as default. 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PORT, '2083'); // Added this
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1); // Added this
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION, CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1); // Added this
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC); // Added this
$view = curl_exec($ch); 
echo $view; // echo is faster then print. 
var_dump(curl_getinfo($ch)); // Also added this, it will output the header infomation.
curl_close($ch);
