From: chris dot vigelius at gmx dot net Operating system: Linux (Ubuntu Edgy) PHP version: 5.2.1 PHP Bug Type: Streams related Bug description: Stream Context 'header' option ignored if value not of type array Description: ------------ the http wrapper ignores 'header' option in stream_create_context( ) if the value is not given as a simple array; neither a string nor a map (e.g. array('X-My-Header' => 'test')) will cause the additional headers to be sent. Reproduce code: --------------- // given as string, the header will not be sent $url = 'http://protectedstuff.com'; $auth = base64_encode('user:password'); $header = "Authorization: Basic $auth"; $opts = array( 'http' => array ('method'=>'GET', 'header'=>$header)); $ctx = stream_context_create($opts); file_get_contents($url,false,$ctx); // only if $header is an array, it will be sent $url = 'http://protectedstuff.com'; $auth = base64_encode('user:password'); $header = array("Authorization: Basic $auth"); $opts = array( 'http' => array ('method'=>'GET', 'header'=>$header)); $ctx = stream_context_create($opts); file_get_contents($url,false,$ctx); Expected result: ---------------- // In BOTH cases, one would expect the following headers to be sent // with the request GET / HTTP/1.1 User-Agent: PHP/5.2.1 Host: protectedstuff.com Pragma: no-cache Accept: */* Authorization: Basic dXNlcjpwYXNzd29yZA= Actual result: -------------- // The first request is sent with the following headers instead GET / HTTP/1.1 User-Agent: PHP/5.2.1 Host: protectedstuff.com Pragma: no-cache Accept: */* (note that there is no 'Authorization:' header) -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=41051&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41051&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41051&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41051&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41051&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41051&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41051&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41051&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41051&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41051&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41051&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41051&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41051&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41051&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41051&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41051&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41051&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41051&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41051&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41051&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41051&r=mysqlcfg
