I work with Drupal 7 (services 3.x) to implement a REST service. When I test a login request with this script:
$service_url = 'https://dev.mysite.org/api/blog/user/login.xml'; // .xml asks for xml data in response
$post_data = array(
'username' => 'admin',
'password' => 'admin',
);
$post_data = http_build_query($post_data, '', '&'); // Format post data as application/x-www-form-urlencoded
// set up the request
$curl = curl_init($service_url);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); // have curl_exec return a string
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, true); // do a POST
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_data); // POST this data
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, FALSE);
// make the request
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, true); // output to command line
$response = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);
print "RESPONSE:\n";
var_dump($response);
// parse the response
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($response);
$session_cookie = $xml->session_name .'='. $xml->sessid;
print "SESSION_COOKIE: $session_cookie";
file_put_contents('session_cookie.txt', $session_cookie);
I receive this error:

- My REST service configuration is:
- I followed this example to test the service.
- It is activated the session authentication in the Services module.
- It is activated application/x-www-form-urlencoded, json, xml....
UPDATE
It seems which the code has multiple mistakes.... I replaced my post_data variable for this:
$post_data = array(
'name' => 'admin',
'pass' => 'admin',
);
And now, I send the login request correctly ( I receive a 200 response), but now, I try to parse the response message to get the cookie-session, I don't receive any response message. I am getting an error like this:
* upload completely sent off: 21 out of 21 bytes

UPDATE 2
I am trying to create a new user to check if my error is related to working with an admin account. I tried (now with the script postman for Chrome) to create a new user via REST... It would be easy... but I wasn't ( I tested username,name,email,mail)...
