So this is the answer to the question why fsockopen() worked. As I said, PHP uses HTTP/1.0 for http streams by default and "Host: " header is required only by HTTP/1.1. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-01-25 14:54:59] ddrewery at gmail dot com Ok, I finally go ahold of sonic wall tech support and they have resolved the issue. Maybe you can help me understand what this means. She had me uncheck a box in the internal settings of the firewall labled "Enforce Host Tag Search with for CFS" and suddently everything works. She rambled off something about header packet size being limited to 32.. but lost me from there. With that information, can you tell me what fsocketopen and fopen would be sending differently to change the header response? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-01-23 18:13:18] tony2001@php.net Use a sniffer. tcpdump, for example. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
