Hi All, I need help on two problems: 1) Is there a PHP function similar to fopen() that would open URL begins with "https://", i.e., SSL address? fopen("https://...") is working with current CVS but is not going to be in a release before version 4.3. For now you can use the cURL module provided the cURL library is compiled with OpenSSL support.

2) Does anyone know if it is possible in PHP to read redirect instructions in HTTP header, and then follow the links? Use the cURL module:

<?php $ch = curl_init ("http://www.php.net/"); curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1); curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_NOBODY, 1); ob_start(); curl_exec ($ch); $header = ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean(); curl_close ($ch); ?> Now search for the "Location" header in $header.
