#37717 [NEW]: gzopen fails with http, bad request

From: chrissavery at gmail dot com Operating system: WinXP PHP version: 5.1.4 PHP Bug Type: Zlib Related Bug description: gzopen fails with http, bad request Description: ------------ using gzopen to open remote files. has worked fine in php 4.3.11 after upgrade to 5.1.4 I get failure with REQUEST METHOD not handled. I can see that it is because the reuest method is stated as ET and not GET as it should be. so seems like some kind of buffer overrun perhaps. fopen works fine. but fopen('compress.zlib://.. also fails the same way. reverted back to 4.3.11 and tested again and it works fine there. currently this will prevent me from migrating to php 5 Reproduce code: --------------- gzopen("http://my.example.com/mods/$f-$site.gz", 'rb') where in my exact case the $f is 'features' and $site is '0' Expected result: ---------------- open the file ready to read contents. Actual result: -------------- error indicating HTTP request is bad. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=37717&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37717&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37717&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37717&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37717&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37717&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37717&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37717&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37717&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37717&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37717&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37717&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37717&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37717&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37717&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37717&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37717&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37717&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37717&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37717&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37717&r=mysqlcfg
