### valentin56610 [http://valentinstudio.great-site.net](http://valentinstudio.great-site.net) ### Error Message Curl error 52: Empty reply from server ### Other Information I am making a game using unity (C#) and currently trying to get a response from the server. I create a very simple .php script that I uploaded here using FTP the php script as shown in screenshot only displays a simple message I am trying to execute the request through a web request from within unity Can I use InfinityFree to interact with a database and simply executes php scripts to handle databases? I have tried many things but always end up with this empty response from the server.. Whenever I go to the link however the message is shown, like it displays just fine So, is the problem coming from the fact that I am trying to execute it from outside the web? Meaning an external app? ![Capture d’écran 2022-10-04 à 20.04.54](https://infinityfree-forum-uploads.s3.dualstack.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/original/3X/6/4/64b4ab473b3aa671a578991bcc97d0f22189295e.jpeg) ---

Sorry, but you cannot do that here. We are a website hosting service, not a file hosting service. > [@Ensuring only web browsers can access your website](https://forum.infinityfree.com/t/ensuring-only-web-browsers-can-access-your-website/49353): > > InfinityFree is a website hosting service.
