Bug #15432 Updated: fopen does not work with password-protected URLs

ID: 15432 Updated by: mqm@magma.ca Reported By: mqm@magma.ca -Status: Feedback +Status: Open Bug Type: HTTP related Operating System: Windows 2000 PHP Version: 4.1.0 New Comment: curl (like wget) can fetch the page, so I don't think there are any redirects. This is what I get if I remove the @ before fopen: <font color=ff0000><br> <b>Warning</b>: fopen("http://...@192.168.3.1/Status.htm", "r") - No error in <b>C:\Xitami\webpages\test.php</b> on line <b>5</b><br> </font>Can't fetch the page (http://user:password@192.168.3.1/Status.htm), so I am giving up !! Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-07 17:48:06] edink@php.net I cannot reproduce this neither on Linux nor on Windows 2000. Does that URL create any http redirects? Do you get any error messages if you remove @ before fopen? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-07 16:14:58] mqm@magma.ca Both curl and the web browser can fetch the document using the notation below, no problem (so, the user/password is correct). I was also able to fetch a password-protected page from dhs.org via PHP, so I am not sure why it is failing for the Linksys web server. Maybe if I could debug what is being sent/received over the wire. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-07 14:01:52] mqm@magma.ca I am trying to fetch the web page from my Linksys ADSL router, which is password-protected, but fopen does not seem to understand the URL format where a user/password is provided (like with FTP). See below. <?php $linksys_info_url = "http://user:password@192.168.3.1/Status.htm"; $f_page = @fopen ($linksys_info_url, "r"); if ($f_page) { $page_contents = fread ($f_page, 1024); fclose ($f_page); print ($page_contents); } else { echo "Can't fetch the page ($linksys_info_url), so I am giving up !!"; } ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=15432&edit=1
