I am trying to do a POST request to my classless personal-api.php file located at http:ip.address:port\public\api\personal\personal-api.php but it returns a cURL error(28)

I am using Http facade to send the POST request by

$params = [params];
$url = url('public/api/personal/personal-api.php');
Http::post($url, $params);

I tried using Http::get and I still get the cURL error(28)

• php
• laravel
• http
• curl
• request

• Are you using a virtual machine such as Vagrant/Homestead, or Docker? if so, you need to remove the port from the URL, since the request will happen within the virtual machine. – aynber Commented 2 days ago

• What @krisgjika wrote and thinking: Getting a cURL error(28) is a valid result of calling Http::post($url, $params);, getting it should not cause any question. Maybe the question is how to handle the error? Please clarify by editing and providing all the relevant information. – hakre Commented 2 days ago

The error message you provide cURL error(28) indicates a timeout for your request could not be completed withing the allocated time. The reason could be an invalid URL path so check the URL path Or you can increase the timeout duration as follows for a 30 second timeout

$params = [params];
$url = url('your URL path');
$response = Http::timeout(30)->post($url, $params); // for 30 second timeout

If the server takes more time than usual, this will help resolve the issue. Otherwise, check if the server is available. If the server is not available, a request timeout can occur.
