BigCommerce PHP API Ciper Error - api

Question

I am using the BigCommerce PHP API and am receiving this error when it attempts to connect to either my store or the webdav store:
failed setting cipher list
From the same server I have connected to both sites using cURL via the command line. I have the cURL php module installed with SSL enabled. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Answer 1

I think you have to enable the 'rsa_rc4_128_sha' cipher. It might not be enabled by default. Can you try
Connection::setCipher()
before making a request? By default this sets the cipher to the above cipher as default.
There is some history on this in the BC github repos -
https://github.com/bigcommerce/bigcommerce-api-php/pull/10
https://github.com/bigcommerce/bigcommerce-api-php/pull/11
Hope this helps.

I was using wamp and tested this just now.
To fix this I updated the connection api file with
curl_setopt($this->curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 1);
curl_setopt($this->curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 2);
curl_setopt($this->curl, CURLOPT_CAINFO, 'C:\xampp\htdocs\big\Bigcommerce\Certs\cacert.pem');
and the file from
http://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html

We use an object based upon the following
<?php
// provision for laziness
if(
(array_key_exists('store_url', (array)$settings)) &&
(array_key_exists('username', $settings)) &&
(array_key_exists('api_key', $settings))
) {
// Config Basic
BC::configure(
array(
'store_url' => $settings['store_url'],
'username' => $settings['username'],
'api_key' => $settings['api_key']
)
);
// Set Cipher if needed
if(array_key_exists('cipher',$settings)) {
BC::setCipher('RC4-SHA');
} else {
BC::verifyPeer(false);
}
// Set Proxy if needed
if(array_key_exists('proxy',$settings)) {
BC::useProxy($settings['proxy']['url'], $settings['proxy']['port']);
}
}
// Run your code here...
