CurlRequest Cookies not working

Hello,

I'm migrating an CI3 app to CI4 (4.4.3) and I have problem to make CurlRequest working fine with cookies.
In CI3, I used plain old PHP curl : 

PHP Code:

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIESESSION, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $cookieFile);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $cookieFile);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $loginUrl));
$content = curl_exec($ch); 


This work fine and my cookie file looks like this : 

Code:

# Netscape HTTP Cookie File
# https://curl.haxx.se/docs/http-cookies.html
# This file was generated by libcurl! Edit at your own risk.

192.168.1.12    FALSE  /      FALSE  0      sid    12271

When I try to do the same in CI4 with the following code :

PHP Code:

$options = [
            'cookie' => $ookieFile,
];
$curlRequest = \Config\Services::curlrequest($options);
$response = $curlRequest->get($oginUrl); 


No cookie is used and the cookie file is empty : 

Code:

# Netscape HTTP Cookie File
# https://curl.se/docs/http-cookies.html
# This file was generated by libcurl! Edit at your own risk.

It seems it's missing something like CURLOPT_COOKIESESSION 

Do you have any idea ?

Thanks,

Fred

Cannot reproduce.

PHP Code:

    public function index()
    {
        $options = [
            'cookie' => WRITEPATH . 'cookie.txt',
        ];
        $curlRequest = \Config\Services::curlrequest($options);
        $response = $curlRequest->get('https://github.com/');
    } 


Code:

$ cat writable/cookie.txt
# Netscape HTTP Cookie File
# https://curl.se/docs/http-cookies.html
# This file was generated by libcurl! Edit at your own risk.

Thank you,

I think I found where the problem is :
In fact : the login page redirects to an other page, which sets the cookie.

The problem is that this redirection changes from POST to GET.
By default (and I guess it was not the case is my previous CI 3 setup), curl redirect POST to POST and then I got a timeout
I disabled redirect as I don't need the second page.

I then tried to enable redirect from POST to GET using  following option :

PHP Code:

'allow_redirects' => [
    'strict'      => FALSE,
], 


When I look at the debug file, it seems that CI4/curl noticed to change from POST to GET, but finally do a POST request instead of a GET anyway: 

Code:

By the way, I'm using an Alpine 3.18 docker image with PHP 8.1.
