RE: [PHP] fsockopen with apache auth

1. according to RFC1945 you should say "Authorization" and not "Authentification". 2. The <Host> header comes in HTTP/1.1 and you declared 1.0. 3. you should send \r\n\r\n when you finish the request (in your example apache never sees the authentification part cause after host you end the headers) Anyway, this works for me (Apache 1.3.12 on RedHat 6.2) ----------- #telnet 0 80 GET /cristi/mail.php HTTP/1.0 Authorization: Basic Z2lnaTpSMG1hbjFhIw== ----------- in your example I would do: ------ [..] fputs($fp,"GET $path HTTP/1.0\r\nAuthorization: Basic ".base64_encode("username:userpw")."\r\n\r\n"); [..] ------ hope this helps cristi
