PHP 4.0 Bug #9846: fopen() fails and gives Error 0 on NoContent URLs

From: bloch@incrementalimages.com Operating system: linux,irix,tru64 PHP version: 4.0.4pl1 PHP Bug Type: Filesystem function related Bug description: fopen() fails and gives Error 0 on NoContent URLs This bug might belong in the URL-related section. I believe it to be a generic problem. If you fopen() an URL that returns with an HTTP Header of NoContent (204), fopen() will fail with Error 0. Failure would be ok if there was a specific error code for NoContent URLs. Either that or returning a handle that was already at eof would suffice. As it is now, there's no way to tell the difference between a bad (NotFound) URL and a NoContent URL. Work-around it to use cURL to a temporary file and check the HTTP_CODE with the undocumented curl_getinfo() function. Of course, it seems a little weird to require the temporary file for a NoContent URL. But it works fine. -Eric Bloch bloch@incrementalimages.com -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=9846&edit=1
