Bug #16303 Updated: file() MUCH faster than fsockopen() + fgets() but we should be able to set th

ID: 16303 Updated by: jpaulomf@terra.com.br Reported By: jpaulomf@terra.com.br -Status: Feedback +Status: Open Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.1.1 New Comment: We should able to set the headers sent by file() and fopen-wrappers when the requests are made to outside, like: $file = fopen("http://myaddress.com/blah.php?op=po"); Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-27 09:23:39] wez@php.net I'm not quite sure what you are asking for here; could you be more specific? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-27 01:55:45] jpaulomf@terra.com.br When tring to open a file for remote edition like: $file = file("http://myaddress.com/users.php?op=xz&f=w"); Whe can't set the headers. And why one would like to? 1 - Readfile throws the content to std out. 2 - fsockopen takes too much time to do the same: $sck = fsockopen($host,$port,&$errno,&$errstr); fputs($sck,$request); while(!feof($sck)) { $result .= fgets($sck,128); } This will take about 300-400% more time compared with file() or readfile(). (WHY??? Ive tested the int lenght of fgets() with 2,32,64,128...4096 and it is still very slow: filesizes > 400kb ~ 90-120 sec (@ 256k) when file() does the same in ~ 20-30 sec). I've not tested cURL yet, but I think PHP should support this w/o 3 parties.. Thanks ppl! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=16303&edit=1
