thanks that's exactly what i needed. if del.icio.us use .htaccess by redirecting error pages, they must have one hell of an error log.

this is a slightly more general question but as i am programming it in php, it is related. i am wondering what is the best way to create clean user-specific urls for each user registered on a website.  i explain.  take del.icio.us for example.  a user's main url is 'http://del.icio.us/username' and match with its rss feed 'http://del.icio.us/rss/username'.  i am wondering if when the user registers, different folders are created (/username, and /rss/username) with files in them.  how does it work?

after searching for scripts that would help me interface php with torrent trackers, i could not put my finger on what is causing the following problem. i wrote a short script that opens a torrent file, computes its info_hash and returns the announce url necessary to fetch the torrent's information. for example, the file 'Camera.Obscura.-.Let-'s.Get.Out.Of.This.Country.[2006].torrent' that i found on torrentspy gives me the following url: [a href=\"http://btbeat.com:2710/announce?info_hash=ifq%40fT%8F%EE%94%14%D1%1F%EE%AAW%DE%9C%ACF%AC&peer_id=keenk-0000-0000-0000&numwant=1000&no_peer_id=1\" target=\"_blank\"]http://btbeat.com:2710/announce?info_hash=...00&no_peer_id=1[/a] if you copy paste it in your browser, it returns a bencoded dictionary with relevant information. now the problem, where $url is equal to the complete previously stated announce url, shows the following warning: Warning: fsockopen(): unable to connect to 66.232.98.29:2710 in /usr/local/lib/php/Net/Socket.php on line 108. [code] require_once "HTTP/Request.php"; $req =& new HTTP_Request();         $req->setMethod(HTTP_REQUEST_METHOD_GET); $req->setURL($url); $req->clearPostData(); if (!PEAR::isError($req->sendRequest())) {      $response = $req->getResponseBody(); } else {      $response = "error"; } echo $response; [/code] is there a restriction on my side or on the tracker side?
