All,
I have a class function to interface with the RESTful API for Last.FM - its purpose is to grab the most recent tracks for my user. Here it is:
private static $base_url = 'http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/2.0/';
public static function getTopTracks($options = array())
{
$options = array_merge(array(
'user' => 'bachya',
'period' => NULL,
'api_key' => 'xxxxx...', // obfuscated, obviously
), $options);
$options['method'] = 'user.getTopTracks';
// Initialize cURL request and set parameters
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($ch, array(
CURLOPT_URL => self::$base_url,
CURLOPT_POST => TRUE,
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => $options,
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => TRUE,
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 30,
CURLOPT_USERAGENT => 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)'
));
$results = curl_exec($ch);
return $results;
}
This returns "Empty reply from server". I know that some have suggested that this error comes from some fault in network infrastructure; I do not believe this to be true in my case. If I run a cURL request through the command line, I get my data; the Last.FM service is up and accessible.
Before I go to those folks and see if anything has changed, I wanted to check with you fine folks and see if there's some issue in my code that would be causing this.
Thanks!
