Why do you use $_SERVER['HTTP_CONTENT_TYPE'] instead of $_SERVER['CONTENT_TYPE']? In my setup (PHP 5.6.4 and Apache 2) only the last is available but the first is not defined even when the header exists.

Thank you!

Also had to change $_SERVER['HTTP_CONTENT_TYPE'] to $_SERVER['CONTENT_TYPE'] like @victorsmirnov, otherwise perfect.
Thank you!

Cool. Thanks!

Nice one! Thanks

Cheers! For me I had to change HTTP_CONTENT_TYPE to CONTENT_TYPE and I used hash_equals() as per the suggestion of @dereckson.

nice good job

I had an error on HTTP_CONTENT_TYPE, the thing is that the request came to me with CONTENT_TYPE
I changed everything $ _SERVER ['HTTP_CONTENT_TYPE'] to $ _SERVER ['CONTENT_TYPE'] and everything is ok.
Thanks!

Awesome! Tku

Thanks for feedback!
I cannot recall, why I used HTTP_CONTENT_TYPE. So I updated gist to use CONTENT_TYPE and hash_equals(). Thank you.
