Bug #18456: fopen() doesn't open URLs that redirect (e.g. http://www.s.com/p.asp?w=asdf)

From: shlok@ript.net Operating system: Windows 2000 PHP version: 4.2.1 PHP Bug Type: *Directory/Filesystem functions Bug description: fopen() doesn't open URLs that redirect (e.g. http://www.s.com/p.asp?w=asdf) The URL in the summary was just an example. The real URL that I have in mind is: http://www.ordabok.is/index.asp?leitarord=car It works fine if I type this URL in a browser. But when I execute the following PHP code: $fp = fopen("http://www.ordabok.is/index.asp?leitarord=car", "r"); fclose($fp); I get the following warnings: Warning: php_network_getaddresses: gethostbyname failed in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\test.php on line Warning: fopen("http://www.ordabok.is/index.asp?leitarord=car", "r") - No such file or directory in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\test.php on line 3 Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\test.php on line 4 I hope that someone can fix this problem. Thanks.
