PHP 4.0 Bug #8440 Updated: fopen on a url returns "success" as an error

ID: 8440 Updated by: venaas Reported By: david@php.net Old-Status: Open Status: Feedback Bug Type: HTTP related Assigned To: venaas Comments: The reason might be that fopen() doesn't handle redirects. I hope to add redirect support again though. To check if this is the reason, check the contents of $http_response_header right after the fopen() call and see if it contains a redirect. Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-12-27 13:28:50] david@php.net fopen("http://my-url/","r") - Success is the error returned. Attempting to use the filehandle return gives "is not a valid FileHandle resource", of course. A "lynx -dump" from the server at the same time the error occurs shows that the url is fine and the connection to that web server is also fine. Doesn't happen all the time, on every execution, but when it does happen is disastrous, any ideas? thanks.
