Steamid validation failure about steam-auth HOT 14 CLOSED

On line 134 of src/SteamAuth.php, $result is now always an empty string due to the requested resource now returning 403 as described by the PHP warning:

file_get_contents(https://steamcommunity.com/openid/login): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden

Because of this, the validate() function never returns a steamid, and login validation always fails.

This came to my attention about 5 days ago when I was getting messages that registration on my site stopped working. This issue entirely prevents this script from working, for everyone.

Yes we also have a problem file_get_contents(https://steamcommunity.com/openid/login): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden

from steam-auth.

@Syntats @Rodion15 I am not able to replicate this on my system.

Can you guys try the following things:

First: Use the sample code from readme and try on localhost, if you are still getting an error then remove the API key and get a new one and try.

if still, you are getting the error: provide the PHP version.

@vikas5914 Works, seems from for hosting

from steam-auth.

Try wget http://steamcommunity.com/openid/id/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (replace x with a steam id) and check your response state in your server.

@vikas5914 I read another forum, the reason is that steam is blocking my ip server

from steam-auth.

@vikas5914

from steam-auth.

@Rodion15 Yeah, steam is blocking your ip address.

Can you try with a VPN and check ?

from steam-auth.

@vikas5914 vpn everything also, it is just necessary to change IP the server but not from the client

from steam-auth.

@Rodion15 You can try with different server IP or you can try to contact steam support.

from steam-auth.

Can confirm, script works fine on alternate webserver.
Looks like valve banned some IPs a couple weeks ago... not a clue as to why.
Will contact Valve. Thanks.

from steam-auth.

Thanks for confirming, I will close this issue.
