#50719 [NEW]: get_headers and file_get_contents always follows location redirect

From: php at hm2k dot org Operating system: PHP version: 5.3.1 PHP Bug Type: Streams related Bug description: get_headers and file_get_contents always follows location redirect Description: ------------ get_headers and file_get_contents should not blindly follow the location redirect. The reason for this is that I, like others, want to get_headers of the url i've supplied, not the ultimate location. I'm not the only one having this issue, also see: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.get-headers.php#90434 Reproduce code: --------------- $headers=get_headers('http://tinyurl.com/hm2k'); Expected result: ---------------- echo $headers['Location']; //returns http://connecting.nokia.com/NOKIA/WWW/HRJEdisc.nsf/HNew/0CB2705072779CACC2256D630080E7F4 Actual result: -------------- Warning: get_headers(http://tinyurl.com/hm2k) [function.get-headers]: failed to open stream: Connection timed out -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=50719&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50719&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50719&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50719&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50719&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50719&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50719&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50719&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50719&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50719&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50719&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50719&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50719&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50719&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50719&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50719&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50719&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50719&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50719&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50719&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50719&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50719&r=mysqlcfg
