I have a GET request being created to run a background task in PHP.
The code is working on my development machine but fails on a production environment.
GET http://localhost:8080/hms/controllers/background/bday.php HTTP 1.1 Host: localhost Connection: Close HTTP/1.1
On echoing echo fgets($socketcon, 128); I get the error below.
400 Bad Request Date: Mon, 08 Jul 2019 05:47:01 GMT Server: Apache/2.4.33
(Win32) OpenSSL/1.0.2o PHP/5.6.36 Vary: accept-language,accept-charset

My code
$host = 'localhost';
$remote_house = 'http://localhost:'.APACHEPORT.'/hms/controllers/background';
$socketcon = fsockopen($host, APACHEPORT);
if($socketcon) {
$socketdata = "GET $remote_house/".$scriptName." HTTP 1.1\r\nHost: $host\r\nConnection: Close\r\n\r\n";
fwrite($socketcon, $socketdata);
fclose($socketcon);
}
Managed to do the same with CURL with 1 millisecond timeout which effectively makes it run in the background.
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => 1,
CURLOPT_URL => $remote_house.$scriptName,
CURLOPT_USERAGENT => 'User Agent X',
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS => 1
));
$resp = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);
