Is it possible to retain the EE session when accessing a url in the same domain via cURL?

This is because the page accessed in the cURL call is dependent on EE's session variables.

    This question appears to be off-topic because it is about php developing not really related to EE. cURL can do everything what regular person can do. Just need to use cURL with --cookie

    This is still EE related since I think EE's sessions are different from Native PHP

So far as I'm aware you will need to do something special, Max alluded to being able to set a cookie. Without doing so your cURL request is seen as a totally separate session since it's initiated by your server, not by your browser.

  • It seems to me that you can access $_COOKIE['exp_sessionid'] to get the current sessionid. However, I still don't know how to make use of this information to retain EE session when using cURL.
