HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 404

[amarques]

Hi,

 

I have a piece of code on one server that tries to open a file on another server.

I define the handle as:

 

$checklastserverlistupdate=fopen ("http://www.example.com/xxxxxxxx/yyyyyyy/serverlistupdated.php", "rb");

 

Annoyingly, when I execute the script, sometimes it makes the connection, but usually I get a ...failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 404 in... error.

 

The file in example.com is available and can be reached on a browser. Any ideas on why this happens? Could it be that the path or filename is too long?

 

Any suggestions are welcome.

 

Thanks.

i dont think you can use http requests in fopen

because its a big security issue....

or this might be better:

 

$url = "http://www.example.com";

 

$str = file_get_contents($url);
