Reading a page with file() - Problems with https
|
|
| Cord-Heinrich Pahlmann 2007-01-28, 9:59 pm |
| Hi,
I need the HTML content of an extern webpage.
Normally I just use file(http://externpage); to read the contents.
But with file(httpS://externpage); i get an error.
The script is running under http://, so that is probably the problem
since http can't send to https (right?).
Is there some workarround. I just need the the <form> data from the
extern page.
Thx, for any suggestions.

What kind of error...?
What OS and webserver is the remote site running?
What OS, PHP version and webserver is your local site running?

No..! HTTP/HTTPS is a question of unencrypted or encrypted communication
between PHP running the script with the file() function and the remote
site. How you invoked the script is not an issue.

Ditto, for anything resembling a clue of what you're experiencing... ;-)

What error?

According to
HTTP and HTTPS
http://www.php.net/manual/en/wrappers.http.php
PHP needs OpenSSL support compiled-in to access HTTPS resources.

I have a xampp test enviroment (Apache w/ PHP 4.4.4).
I'm sorry, but when I uploaded the script to my webhoster it worked.
So it might be an issue with the OpenSSL support as Micha suggested.
I just looked at the phpinfo() pages of both configs and on both=20
systems is openSSL enabled. My hoster has an older version, though.=20
But that shouldn't be the problem.
The error I get from my localhost is the following:
Warning: file(https://SITE) [function.file]: failed to open stream:=20
Invalid argument in ... on line...
It works fine with normal HTTP.
Since, the script is running on my webspaces I'm fine. But I still=20
would really like to know why it isn't working from localhost.

Buggy IIS and line endings from a MAC are easy to overcome, but obviously
not what's giving you problems. Never mind the question.

Micha said it all...

<guesswork>
I think the SSL entry you are looking for is an "ssl" entry under
"Registered Stream Socket Transports" in the phpinfo() page. And probably
an "https" entry under "Registered PHP Streams".

Your PHP installation is probably broken from the maintainer. Try an
upgrade, your distro's own PHP package or build PHP yourself, using bits
and bytes... ;-)
