I did search but apologise in advance if this has been asked before.
If further information is required then please let me know and I will
supply it.

There is a particular website for which I get a 200 result from curl
on the command line, but 302 using curl via PHP. This happens for all
pages on that website. Generally I have no problems with the PHP
script.

What can I do to get the script to return 200 as it (I think) ought?

See below for further information.

Thanks in anticipation

Jonathan

When I run curl -I http://www.....ac.uk/ at the command line I get:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Cache-Control: private
Content-Length: 61060
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Server: Microsoft-IIS/7.5
X-AspNet-Version: 2.0.50727

When I run it via PHP I get:
HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Cache-Control: private
Content-Length: 163
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Location: /Error.htm?aspxerrorpath=/default.aspx

Here's my PHP function:

    function load_with_curl ($url) {
        $c = curl_init($url);
        curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); #get response
as string instead of echoing
        curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_NOBODY, true); # no body
        curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_HEADER, true); # yes get header

        #Experimenting to see if can fix problem (did not help)
        #curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT, true);
        #$header = array("Cache-Control: no-cache");
        #curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $header);

        $response = curl_exec($c);
        return array($response, curl_getinfo($c));
    }

Here is what seems to be potentialy relevant from phpinfo:
