note 79466 rejected from function.fopen by danbrown

Note Submitter: richard dot thomas at psysolutions dot com ---- fopen appears to choke on some redirects which do not give problems to browsers or wget Example: this redirect Location: /NetPerfMon/NetworkMap.asp?Map=Network Overview&Scale=50 Causes this request: GET /NetPerfMon/NetworkMap.asp?Map=Network Overview&Scale=50 HTTP/1.0 Which is an invalid request due to the space. I don't recall if this is correct behavior according to the RFC or not (I'm 100% sure that fopen shouldn't be sending requests with spaces in but it may be that the Location: redirect shouldn't have spaces either) but the the big two browsers and wget handle it gracefully I'll also add a note that fopen does no cookie handling. The above is part of two redirects. The first redirects to a page which issues cookies, the second redirects to the original page. If there was not a problem with the space above, this would have led to a loop broken only by any redirect limit rules coded into fopen. Handling cookies may be outside the scope of fopen but I think it is worth noting in case anyone else would run into it. PHP 5.2.0
