#27105 [Com]: Cannot open remote URL's

ID: 27105 Comment by: maximander at gmail dot com Reported By: jprins at ision dot nl Status: No Feedback Bug Type: HTTP related Operating System: Unix PHP Version: 4.3.4 New Comment: We at gerpok.com are also encountering this error. Using a packet sniffer and file(), as well as fsockopen() we tracked the problem to the fact that php is not sending a 'Host:' header, nor the double line return to mark the end of headers, but rather is stopping after the first line ("GET .... HTTP/1.0") we have several questions: 1) shouldn't it use http/1.1 ? 2) why isn't it sending all the headers? 3) Why does it retry the "GET ..." several times rather than finishing the first one? 4) What the $#%^ are those funny characters in the error msg? using fsockopen() we can send the "GET ..." and "Host..." headers manually and the request works fine. PHP Version: 4.3.8 OS: Gentoo Linux(2.6.7 kernel) Apache 2 Tried php 5.0.1,'--enable-debug' and yes, allow_url_fopen is set to On. email me if you want more specific info.

Thank you. ..and you should fix your server.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-02-01 05:51:01] sniper@php.net Why does it work fine for me? Using this script: <?php readfile("http://www.ccmplanet.com/"); var_dump($http_response_headers); ?> I get the page contents and the correct headers.. So what is different? (I'm running the script with CLI) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-02-01 03:29:36] jprins at ision dot nl I don't think the weird characters in the error message are normal? Warning: readfile(http://www.ccmplanet.com/): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! üESÆ@4Ìÿ¿>Æà\@@Ìÿ¿<™Æ

Worked fine with PHP 4.2.2 too. :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-01-31 13:15:11] jprins at ision dot nl Changed the include into readfile, but same result ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
