clickatell | Standalone PHP library to integrate with the Clickatell SMS | SMS library

I am developing an MVC application that during order creation, will send an SMS to the registered phone number. The flow is:

• The user inputs personal details (including phone number) and order specific details
• The user receives an SMS with a code
• The user inputs the code to confirm the order

I want the controller to use a web api to send the code, just after the code is created in the controller action. I am using "clickatell" web api, where I can send an sms using this link: https://api.clickatell.com/http/sendmsg?user=[USERNAME]&password=[PASSWORD]&api_id=[API ID]&to=[PHONE NUMBER]&text=[TXT MESSAGE]

I do not need to get any information back, the API just sends the SMS when you visit the url. I need the controller to somehow visit the website (without showing it) or just send a message to it, to fire the SMS event.

I have tried to use the Http, uri and url classes but I cannot seem to find any methods to do what I want it to do. Is there a simple way to call the web api and make it send the SMS from the controller action?

I'm using Perl 5.16.3 on RHEL 7 and I have a fairly generic request:

The problem that I have is the SMS gateway not working very well when I need to verify the phone number. I'm using Clickatell Sometimes working, sometimes no. Users are very angry with us because the request the sms and they never receive it. I need a service or another way to verify the phone number efficiently. The problem is the users country (south and center America like argentina, uruguay, paraguay, ecuador, panama, etc). The most of t he SMS gateway not working righ in this kind of country. Another alternative? May be a phone call or something. Thanks!

When I try to send SMS to US number I'm getting from API accept but message not sent. In clickatell I see "routing error"

Same message to number outside of US is working fine.

I have no 2-way number configured - is it a must? Any other ideas?

I want to send a simple message using the service Clickatell.

I don't want to read the response, it will be simple GET request to send a message.

The service provides the request looks like:

I am trying to manage a host file with a python script. I am new to python and I am having a hard time with figuring out how to replace a line if I find a match. For example, if the address gets changed in a host file for a website I want the script to find it and change it back. Thanks for your help.

I have been using clickatell service last couple of weeks sending SMS each morning to a number of mobile numbers, no problems until today:

System.Net.WebException: The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send. ---> System.IO.IOException: Authentication failed because the remote party has closed the transport stream.

I have tried sending from inside the corporate network, and outside of it too, even tried from mobile data connection, get the same response every time.

I checked my clickatell account, and it still has plenty of credit, and the integration is switched 'on'..

any ideas what is going wrong?
