Im using this code here: http://www.digiways.com/articles/php/httpredirects/
public function ReadHttpFile($strUrl, $iHttpRedirectMaxRecursiveCalls = 5)
{
// parsing the url getting web server name/IP, path and port.
$url = parse_url($strUrl);
// setting path to '/' if not present in $strUrl
if (isset($url['path']) === false)
$url['path'] = '/';
// setting port to default HTTP server port 80
if (isset($url['port']) === false)
$url['port'] = 80;
// connecting to the server]
// reseting class data
$this->success = false;
unset($this->strFile);
unset($this->aHeaderLines);
$this->strLocation = $strUrl;
$fp = fsockopen ($url['host'], $url['port'], $errno, $errstr, 30);
// Return if the socket was not open $this-success is set to false.
if (!$fp)
return;
$header = 'GET / HTTP/1.1\r\n';
$header .= 'Host: '.$url['host'].$url['path'];
if (isset($url['query']))
$header .= '?'.$url['query'];
$header .= '\r\n';
$header .= 'Connection: Close\r\n\r\n';
// sending the request to the server
echo "Header is: ".str_replace('\n', '\n', $header)."";
$length = strlen($header);
if($length != fwrite($fp, $header, $length))
{
echo 'error writing to header, exiting';
return;
}
// $bHeader is set to true while we receive the HTTP header
// and after the empty line (end of HTTP header) it's set to false.
$bHeader = true;
// continuing untill there's no more text to read from the socket
while (!feof($fp))
{
echo "in loop";
// reading a line of text from the socket
// not more than 8192 symbols.
$good = $strLine = fgets($fp, 128);
if(!$good)
{
echo 'bad';
return;
}
// removing trailing \n and \r characters.
$strLine = ereg_replace('[\r\n]', '', $strLine);
if ($bHeader == false)
$this-strFile .= $strLine.'\n';
else
$this-aHeaderLines[] = trim($strLine);
if (strlen($strLine) == 0)
$bHeader = false;
echo "read: $strLine";
return;
}
echo "after loop";
fclose ($fp);
}
This is all I get:
Header is:
GET / HTTP/1.1\r\n
Host: www.google.com/\r\n
Connection: Close\r\n\r\n
in loopbad
So it fails the fgets($fp, 128);
