ID: 10141 Updated by: pollita@php.net Reported By: bobby dot jack at excite dot com -Status: Analyzed +Status: Closed Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: sparc-sun-solaris2.6 PHP Version: 4.0.4pl1 New Comment: Implemented Sep 7 (http_fopen_wrapper.c : r-1.43) by Sterling Exists in PHP 4.3 and later. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-04-03 12:41:58] hholzgra@php.net maybee there should be a way to define the USER_AGENT for HTTP fopen wrapper? moved to feature requests ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-04-03 12:30:38] bobby dot jack at excite dot com $HTTP_USER_AGENT reports an unexpected value when inlcuded via a URL-reference: e.g. test1.php -- <?php echo $HTTP_USER_AGENT; ?> -- test2.php -- <?php include "http://servername.com/test1.php"; ?> -- http://servername.com/test1.php displays (example): Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 4.0) http://servername.com/test2.php displays: PHP/4.0.4pl1 I can understand why this happens: when including a URL-referenced file, PHP obviously acts as the HOST that makes the request. However, is there a workaround for this? - Bobby. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=10141&edit=1
