Re: PHP 4.0 Bug #7862 Updated: On a network connection fgetc hangs when NULL bytes get involved

Hello, the problems seems to have to do with urlencode(). Since I used this function for test output of the binary data. removing a "echo urlencode($somebinarydata);" before the loop did the job. It definitely must have to do with it, no syntax errors or other problems and I tried all kind of test outputs on different places and I very often had this misbehaviour. Sorry I did not update my report but the login stragly never works for adding comments.
