Bug #54898 [NEW]: HTTP context option "ignore_errors" does not work as expected

From: Operating system: Linux/Ubuntu PHP version: 5.3.6 Package: Streams related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:HTTP context option "ignore_errors" does not work as expected Description: ------------ From documentation I would assume that making a HTTP request with "ignore_errors" context option I should always get response body no matter the HTTP response code server sent back. This seems to work for just some of the response codes (like 404) and will fail with others - "400 Bad Request" for example. This affects fopen() and file_get_contents() as far as I have tested. An ideal solution would be to: - if fopen() is called with HTTP context and "ignore_errors" - return a valid resource (currently it will return false with a E_WARNING). Next calling stream_get_contents() on this resource should return response body. If "ignore_errors" is not set - behave the old way - keeping backwards- compatibility. - if file_get_contents() is called with HTTP context and "ignore_errors" - return response body no matter HTTP response code. Otherwise - keep old functionality for backwards compatibility. Because of this bug writing an API client with HTTP streams is somewhat of challenge (or not possible at all). -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=54898&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54898&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54898&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54898&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54898&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54898&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54898&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54898&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54898&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54898&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54898&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54898&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54898&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54898&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54898&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54898&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54898&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54898&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54898&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54898&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54898&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54898&r=mysqlcfg
