Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-03-24 13:39:48] marques at displague dot com Description: ------------ file_get_contents() does not decode HTTP content sent with "Transfer-Encoding: chunked". This is probably also true for fopen() and other HTTP stream handlers in PHP. RFC2616 section 3.6.1: All HTTP/1.1 applications MUST be able to receive and decode the "chunked" transfer-coding, and MUST ignore chunk-extension extensions they do not understand. Reproduce code: --------------- echo file_get_contents('somechunkedurl.html'); Expected result: ---------------- This is the data in the first chunk and this is the second one Actual result: -------------- 23 This is the data in the first chunk 1A and this is the second one 0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=47759&edit=1
