How can I redirect user to API endpoint (different domain) using server IP instead of user IP?
I'm doing a soap request to an external API using Laravel & Guzzle. All other calls have succeeded to get the actual response but for the redirecting user to the external page has failed because the external API web service only allows my server IP to access that page.
I have tried:
- windows.location (javascript)
- location header (PHP)
- return redirect URL (PHP)
This is their documentation on how to redirect in VB language :
redirection code in VB
All of these methods only use the browser redirection which is using user IP not the server IP.
Any method that I can use to redirect user using my server IP that you guys can recommend?
Thanks in advance.
Extra context/information:
Example screenshot for the fourth call which include get the quotation number and generate the url parameter
That is the code for VB that they provided in API documentation. So why I want to bring the user to the page? It is because when the GetQuotation (fourth call) is already submitted to their database and it will return QuoNo that will be used in the URL parameter. When the user gets redirected to the external page with parameter QuoNo=12412194149124, their backend will query for the quotation details that the user fills in my side (mydomain.com/form) and auto filled it on their side (otherdomain.com/form).
If you see from the screenshot, the System.Diagnostics.Process.Start will execute the url once the Quotation number (QuoNo) is generated. So once the user click on the 'buy now' button on our end (mydomain.com/form), it will call the fourth call (GetQuotation guzzle function) and generate a Quotation Number (QuoNo) then it will be populated in http://otherdomain.com/main.a5w?tokenid=wm-9Kj-14e-Fa4-I1adlXrQ00weqwe3S&QuoNo=QUO022348921312301623. Based on what my understanding on VB code, System.Diagnostics.Process.Start will force the url to be opened.
I'm sorry if it's still lacked of info given. Feel free to ask more. Thank you

On the external page (otherdomain.com/form) already injected with form details that user filled up from my end (mydomain.com/form).

Since you mention that is is an API I assume that a request is send to the other server to perform an action based on the form data which does not require any action from the user?
– Sven Hakvoort
Nov 14 '18 at 11:57
Yeah, it's a request that processed from the backend (I'm using guzzle PHP for that). For other four API calls, I have succeeded get the response. For now, I need to know how to make a request (for redirection) based on when a user click a button then send the request to the backend to bring the user to the external page.
– Muhd Adrin
Nov 14 '18 at 12:03
The best way for this would be to use guzzle to post the form data tootherdomain.com/form, get the response of this and then return it to the user. Other work arounds will get very complicated/inefficient because you would have to scrape the page of otherdomain, return that in your own domain and so forth. But I am not sure if this could work for you?

What you want can not be achieved sadly. The only thing you can do with the redirect is tell the browser where to go, you have no control over the IP here since this would pose all kinds of issues regarding security and identification. The only way to achieve what you want is to wrap the html of the resulting webpage in your website or remove the restriction of the ip addresses. Another solution could be to build a simple page which is accessible to everyone and limit the API routes to specific IP addresses. For example:
Let's assume the payment gateway is at: example.com/checkout, this one would be accessible to everyone and would contain a form to which you can perform the redirect and fill this form with the passed data.
This form would then post the information to example.com/api/v1/checkout which will process your form data and return if the transaction was succesful. Based on this return the user will be redirected to another page. This is assuming you have control over the other domain since only with your server IP you can access this site.
If this is not the case there is no other way than to post the data to an endpoint via guzzle and use these return values to provide feedback to the user.
I hope this answers your question, if anything is unclear please let me know.

I really appreciate what you try to make me understand by accessing the external page using my server IP is impossible because it will still use the browser to navigate user to the external page. I tried to scrape down the page to my end but the assets such as CSS,JS and images are located to their end so the page scraped output in blank on my end. I've researched System.Diagnostics.Process.Start (VB code) to be translated to PHP which is Program execution Functions. (php.net/manual/en/ref.exec.php). Do you think is it possible for me to code that instead of normal redirection?

Okay I'm sorry for not giving you much info. My website is an insurance aggregator. So basically there are 4 calls. The first one is getaccesstoken(success), second is getvehicleinfo(success), third is getprice(success) and the fourth is getquotation(success and i got the quotation number that will be attached on the url for redirection. e.g 203.xx.xx.xxx:8080/other/…). To access that url, I need to use my server IP to open the link for the user. Now I want to redirect user to the url once the button is clicked.

@MuhdAdrin, it is still very unclear to me why you want to redirect the user to that domain when that domain only accepts incoming connections from your server. What information do they provide (could you provide an example/screenshot)? The command you mentiond looks very similair to file_get_contents(), the program execution functions will be executed server side and thus do not benefit the user, so I don't think you could get that to work

To access that url, I need to use my server IP to open the link for the user. Now I want to redirect user to the url once the button is clicked.

@MuhdAdrin, it is still very unclear to me why you want to redirect the user to that domain when that domain only accepts incoming connections from your server. What information do they provide (could you provide an example/screenshot)? The command you mentiond looks very similair to file_get_contents(), the program execution functions will be executed server side and thus do not benefit the user, so I don't think you could get that to work

What you want can not be achieved sadly. The only thing you can do with the redirect is tell the browser where to go, you have no control over the IP here since this would pose all kinds of issues regarding security and identification. The only way to achieve what you want is to wrap the html of the resulting webpage in your website or remove the restriction of the ip addresses. Another solution could be to build a simple page which is accessible to everyone and limit the API routes to specific IP addresses. For example:
Let's assume the payment gateway is at: example.com/checkout, this one would be accessible to everyone and would contain a form to which you can perform the redirect and fill this form with the passed data.
This form would then post the information to example.com/api/v1/checkout which will process your form data and return if the transaction was succesful. Based on this return the user will be redirected to another page. This is assuming you have control over the other domain since only with your server IP you can access this site.
If this is not the case there is no other way than to post the data to an endpoint via guzzle and use these return values to provide feedback to the user.
I hope this answers your question, if anything is unclear please let me know.

I really appreciate what you try to make me understand by accessing the external page using my server IP is impossible because it will still use the browser to navigate user to the external page. I tried to scrape down the page to my end but the assets such as CSS,JS and images are located to their end so the page scraped output in blank on my end. I've researched System.Diagnostics.Process.Start (VB code) to be translated to PHP which is Program execution Functions. (php.net/manual/en/ref.exec.php). Do you think is it possible for me to code that instead of normal redirection?

What is viewed on this page? I.e. can the user do specific actions on this page or is it just a message to the user?
– Sven Hakvoort
Nov 14 '18 at 11:25
So from my endpoint page (mydomain.com/form) will send the user data to the external page (otherdomain.com/form). On the external page (otherdomain.com/form) already injected with form details that user filled up from my end (mydomain.com/form). The external API webservice only allow my server IP to be accessing the external page (otherdomain.com/form) so I can't use redirect (status 301) for that because it will use user IP instead of server IP.
– Muhd Adrin
Nov 14 '18 at 11:52
Since you mention that is is an API I assume that a request is send to the other server to perform an action based on the form data which does not require any action from the user?
– Sven Hakvoort
Nov 14 '18 at 11:57
Yeah, it's a request that processed from the backend (I'm using guzzle PHP for that). For other four API calls, I have succeeded get the response. For now, I need to know how to make a request (for redirection) based on when a user click a button then send the request to the backend to bring the user to the external page.
– Muhd Adrin
Nov 14 '18 at 12:03
The best way for this would be to use guzzle to post the form data to
otherdomain.com/form, get the response of this and then return it to the user. Other work arounds will get very complicated/inefficient because you would have to scrape the page of otherdomain, return that in your own domain and so forth. But I am not sure if this could work for you?– Sven Hakvoort
