Are you therefore saying SOAP support should be 100% diabled when allow_url_fopen is off?
SOAP is not disabled, simply prevented from querying remote data sources directly.
What exactly can you do with it other than query remote data sources? I tend to agree with Adam (and I guess Wez) - SOAP should not be affected by allow_url_fopen.
Why not simply make existing INI option only restrict script loading operations such as include/require, afterall this is what it tries to primarily prevent anyway.
That may be a good alternative. We need to figure out whether there are any other functionality that may pose a security risk, other than include/require of remote files - can anybody think of anything? If not, then that's probably the best alternative: 1. Deprecate allow_url_fopens 2. Introduce allow_remote_code_execution 3. Introduce allow_remote_streams (effectively allow_url_fopens renamed, except it doesn't affect include/require) Zeev
