Timeout when trying to access a HTTPS Rest service via PHP

Question

I am trying to access a Rest service that is on an HTTPS server via PHP and is returning timeout. If I take the URL and put in the browser opens.
I am using Httpful (http://phttpclient.com/), I have used other libraries and the same error occurs.
Now when I access a Rest service that is on an HTTP server works.

Below the code I’m using

$url = "https://api.github.com/users/nategood";
echo "<br>{$url}<br>";
$response = \Httpful\Request::get($url)
        ->strictSSL(true)
        ->send();
echo "<br>";
var_dump($response);

The result of the above execution is:

https://api.github.com/users/nategood

Fatal error: Maximum Execution time of 30 Seconds exceeded in phar://C:/xampp/htdocs/projeto_01/httpful.phar/Httpful/Request.php on line 202

Can someone help me?

By the analysis I did the API service requires that there is a User-Agent defined (I believe the problem arises from it), this approach does not involve \Httpful\Request and I don’t even think it’s necessary:

$opts = array(
  'http'=>array(
    'header'=> "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (iPad; U; CPU OS 3_2 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/531.21.10 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.4 Mobile/7B334b Safari/531.21.102011-10-16 20:23:10\r\n"
  )
);

$context = stream_context_create($opts);
$response = file_get_contents('https://api.github.com/users/nategood', false, $context);

In which the content of $response will be:

{ "login": "nategood", "id": 154115, "avatar_url": "https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/154115?v=3", "gravatar_id": "", "url": "https://api.github.com/users/nategood", "html_url": "https://github.com/nategood", "followers_url": "https://api.github.com/users/nategood/followers", "following_url": "https://api.github.com/users/nategood/following{/other_user}", "gists_url": "https://api.github.com/users/nategood/gists{/gist_id}", "starred_url": "https://api.github.com/users/nategood/starred{/Owner}{/Repo}", "subscriptions_url": "https://api.github.com/users/nategood/subscriptions", "organizations_url": "https://api.github.com/users/nategood/orgs", "repos_url": "https://api.github.com/users/nategood/repos", "events_url": "https://api.github.com/users/nategood/events{/Privacy}", "received_events_url": "https://api.github.com/users/nategood/received_events", "type": "User", "site_admin": false, "name": "Nate Good", "company": "Showclix, Inc.", "blog": "http://nategood.com", "location": "Pittsburgh, PA", "email": "[email protected]", "hireable": null, "bio": "CTO @Showclix, Founder of @Firstbytes ", "public_repos": 34, "public_gists": 7, "followers": 124, "following": 25, "created_at": "2009-11-16T23:42:29Z", "updated_at": "2017-01-03T14:06:12Z" }

Then I believe you know what to do with it, ex: json_decode($response, true); to transform into an array etc...

You can also do with Curl:

$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, True);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://api.github.com/users/nategood');
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERAGENT,'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.7; rv:7.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/7.0.1');
$response = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);

To test, try to allow the source:

header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *'); // libera acesso de todos os sites

If successful, replace the asterisk with the URL of the domain you are using.

header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: https://www.seu_site.com', false);

Also, check whether the SSL certificate is valid and whether the version of it is supported.
