#21267 [Csd->Opn]: fopen() fails on some URLs

ID: 21267 User updated by: patric@liefdeis.com Reported By: patric@liefdeis.com -Status: Closed +Status: Open Bug Type: *URL Functions Operating System: FreeBSD PHP Version: 4.4.0-dev New Comment: No, you didn't understand the problem. In reality it doesn't return a 404 error, but because a 302 is given back in the form: newpage.htm but is handled as /newpage.htm, it opens the wrong redirect and that returns a 404. In PHP 4.2.x this works fine. The URL: http://www.smswhiz.com/http2sms/sendsms.asp Does not return a 404-error when you follow it manually! Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-03 10:25:46] iliaa@php.net This bug has been fixed in CVS. In case this was a PHP problem, snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at http://snaps.php.net/. In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up soon at http://www.php.net/manual/. In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites in short time. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better. 404 means the page cannot be found, openning 404 error handler URL is counter intuitive since it implies that the fopen() succeeded opening the request page, even though the requested page does not exist. This will not be fixed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-03 05:12:10] patric@liefdeis.com Tnx for the fast change, and it is almost working. But one thing still doesn't: When you open: http://www.smswhiz.com/http2sms/sendsms.asp You get a redirect to sendfailed.htm. The new URL to open should be: http://www.smswhiz.com/http2sms/sendfailed.htm and this site exists. But when I try it with PHP (with the latest snapshot ofcourse), I get a 404, so I think it opens: http://www.smswhiz.com/sendfailed.htm I know, IIS 5.0 really sucks in those redirects, but can you maybe fix this problem too? Tnx! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-29 14:03:03] iliaa@php.net This bug has been fixed in CVS.

Open the right location and it should work fine. We probably should support this at some point though. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
