Not recognising Twitter or Flickr URLs (v1.9.2)

[lucanos]

I just found this (wonderful) library, and I am trying to allow for detection and replacement of Twitter and Flickr URLs through oEmbed.

My Code:

`require_once( 'inc/Embera/Autoload.php' );

$embera = new \Embera\Embera();

$text = 'http://vimeo.com/groups/shortfilms/videos/66185763 http://www.flickr.com/photos/bees/8597283706/in/photostream https://twitter.com/Interior/status/507185938620219395 http://youtube.com/watch?v=J---aiyznGQ';

echo $embera->autoEmbed( $text );`

My Output:

Error is found regardless of whether the Twitter URL is prefixed with https or http.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @lucanos ,

I sadly cannot replicate the behavior. Your code returns:

Which is the expected output.

However, the only way I get the same result as you is when I enable offline mode (via array('oembed' => false)). Since the library doesn't have offline support for twitter or flickr, the library returns the original url.

Are you using offline mode ? If you are, be sure to check the PROVIDERS.md file. The providers marked with an asterisk * have support for offline mode.

I think the issue was/is curl trying to validate the SSL, and failing, which then meant there was no payload to process. Turning CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER to false seems to have fixed it.

Hi @lucanos ! Thanks for the report.

Iv'e been trying to replicate the issue in different environments and it seems to work fine, Im just not able to replicate the issue.

So I would suggest to use the configuration array to pass that option to CURL, rather than "hard code" it in the library.

Something like this should work

    $config = array(
        'http' => array('curl' => array(CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => false))
    );

    $embera = new \Embera\Embera($config);

If I get more reports of people with the same issue, I'll merge your PR, but for now I think using the config option is the better option here.

However, thanks for reporting it and for the PR!
