Q: 

How to scrape data from LocService (http://www.trackdroid.org/locservice.html) using PHP

Hi all.

I'm looking to scrape geolocation data from LocService (a solution to track GPS pings from an Android phone) and host it in a MySQL database as a PHP cron job. The login system uses HTTPS. I'm having trouble returning anything through cURL.

Has anyone got any ideas?

A: 

Hi, Did you try with standard Web viewer ? maybe it's a certificate problem with HTTPS, Please try with standard web viewer.

This needs to be done automatically through a cron job so I cannot use the standard web browser

Ok, but my ask was: did you try with web viewer ? because android have probleme with some Root certificate, and app say nothing but standard web viewer can show you what's wrong.

I'm not sure what you mean... are you sure you understand the question?

Found an alternative solution - used a cron job to scrape data from my "Google Latitude Location Badge".
