[Assuming that "::" is a typo] "http://192.168.1.1/mydirectory" is an invalid URL - that resource doesn't exist on that server. When a server receives a request for "http://example.com/some/dir", instead of throwing a 404 error it politely issues a 301 (Moved Permanently), telling the browser to go to "http://example.com/some/dir/" instead. The "example.com" bit is taken from httpd.conf. Look for the line: ServerName example.com to modify. Your request for "http://192.168.1.1/mydirectory" is being 301'd into "http://example.com/mydirectory/" This is why leaving training a '/' off a URL is a bad idea, even though it appears to work - it causes a second HTTP roundtrip before you get your file. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
