[CoD 1.1] How should I call curl from gsc?

Hello

I'm taking over PlayerConnect, to check if player uses a vpn ip before letting him in

For that, I need to call an online api using curl, to get a response about the ip info, it looks like json

I'm using codextended

I'm thinking about calling the api from the .gsc, would that be the good way?

Or should I build codextended to let it do the verification?

Do you know how I could call curl and get a response from .gsc?

Would you have an alternative to curl to suggest if you think there is a better option to use?

i use too vpn api. Codextended .php + database mysql

system("php vpn.php "+self getIP()+" "+self.id);
<?php
$ip = $argv[1];
$id = $argv[2];
$ch = curl_init('http://proxycheck.io/v2/'.$ip.'?key=mykey&vpn=1&asn=1&risk=1');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$json = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
$api_result = json_decode($json, true);
$proxy=0;
$risk=$api_result[$ip]['risk'];
if($risk>65)
$proxy=1;
$mi = new mysqli("url", "login", "password", "dbname");
$eboy=$mi->query("UPDATE `users` SET `city`='".$api_result[$ip]['city']."', `country`='".$api_result[$ip]['country']."', `isocode`='".$api_result[$ip]['isocode']."', `vpn`='".$proxy."' WHERE `realid`='".intval($id)."'");
$mi->close();
?>

Thank you very much :)

I never used this system() command

Can you get the curl/php response from it directly in gsc?

Or you use sql for that?

1. Run php script from gsc
2. Write in DataBase from .php
3. Read db-query in gsc
My example realisation:
Attachment 1703
system libcod:
Attachment 1704
You can try use return 1/0 or -1 in php script from gsc(libcod: system()) without db, but i cant test it now.
Sorry for my bad english

Finally I did it through codextended, below is how, hoping it could please someone.

Add cJSON.c and cJSON.h from https:// github.com/DaveGamble/cJSON to src folder.

sv_client.c

PHP Code:

---

...
#include <stdbool.h>

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <curl/curl.h>

#include "cJSON.h"

I build using bash build.sh -d

_____________

I used a debian 64bit vm to build
I use a debian 64bit vps for the server

Following commands are written from memory
To build I did on the vm:

PHP Code:

---

apt-get remove curl libcurl4
dpkg --add-architecture i386
apt update
apt install curl:i386 libcurl4:i386 libcurl4-openssl-dev:i386 


---

And to run on the server I did:

PHP Code:

---

apt-get remove curl libcurl4
dpkg --add-architecture i386
apt update
apt install curl:i386 libcurl4:i386
