Send POST request with netcat_问答_开发者_运维开发者技术经验分享

I have found this little s开发者_JS百科cript in PHP that send a simple request to twitter for update your status, I have tried this: http://pratham.name/twitter-php-script-without-curl.html, and it work. Now, I want send this request with netcat, but this doesn't work, why?

I send request in this way:

echo -e $head | nc twitter.com 80

The $head are my header that I have tried with also PHP, so it are right.

Anyone know how I can make this? Thanks to all.

edit.

head="POST http://twitter.com/statuses/update.json HTTP/1.1\r\n
Host: twitter.com\r\n
Authorization: Basic myname:passwordinbs64\r\n
Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n
Content-length: 10\r\n
Connection: Close\r\n\r\n
status=mymessage";

echo -e $head | nc twitter.com 80

The data you send is not correct. Here's the command I'm executing:

$ head="POST /statuses/update.json HTTP/1.1\r\n
Host: twitter.com\r\n
Authorization: Basic myname:passwordinbs64\r\n
Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n
Content-length: 10\r\n
Connection: Close\r\n\r\n
status=mymessage"; echo $head  | nc twitter.com 80

I'm running a tcpdump in parallel and here is what it shows me:

Do you see the mistake? At each line break are three characters, but there should be only two. This happens because you have a real line break in your variable definition that becomes a space in the shell. E.g.

$ head="line1
line2" ; echo $head

line1 line2

Try writing it all in one line instead.

$ head="POST /statuses/update.json HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: twitter.com\r\nAuthorization: Basic myname:passwordinbs64\r\nContent-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\nContent-length: 10\r\nConnection: Close\r\n\r\nstatus=mymessage" ; echo $head | nc twitter.com 80

If you don't put quotes around "$head" then your formatting won't be as you (or Twitter) expect it. Also, since your variable contains newlines/carriage returns, it will probably help to suppress echo from supplying its own.
