Description:
------------
i set 'max_redirects' to 1 to disable redirect, but it did not work and produce some error....
'PHP Warning:  fopen(): Redirection limit reached, aborting. in D:\webroot\nlr.ph
p on line 66'

if i set it to 2, everything works well...redirect works.

note: http://172.23.68.8/index.php will simple locate to another url.

Reproduce code:
---------------
$access = "http://172.23.68.8/index.php";

$opts = array(
	'http' => array(
		'method' => "GET",
		'header' =>	"Accept: */*\r\n" .
					"Accept-Language: en-us\r\n" .
					"Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate\r\n" .
					"User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)\r\n" .
					//"Host: www.netlibrary.com\r\n" .
					"Connection: Keep-Alive\r\n",
	'max_redirects' => '1'
	)
);

$context = stream_context_create($opts);

$fp = fopen($access, 'r', false, $context);
$meta_data = stream_get_meta_data($fp);
var_dump($meta_data);
file_put_contents('./test.dump', $fp);
fclose($fp);

Actual result:
--------------

max_redirects - The max number of redirects to follow. Value 1 or less means that no redirects are followed.

i see, no redirects followed, but it didn't fetch any info(headers) from the first request.
it produce error "Redirection limit reached", i just need the first header.

;(

thanks

The first header is "Location", this is pretty clear.
If you want to get the header itself you can use fsockopen().

I get the same error if I just want to download the mirror selection page:
file_put_contents('xampp-win32-1.6.4.exe.html', file_get_contents('http://downloads.sourceforge.net/xampp/xampp-win32-1.6.4.exe?use_mirror=osdn', FALSE, stream_context_create(array('http'=>array('max_redirects'=>1))), 0, 10000));

There's a small gap of proper support here:
1) the get_headers() function would give the Location header (since it uses STREAM_ONLY_GET_HEADERS) if the max_redirects is set to 1, but it doesn't return a response body
2) the current fopen wrapper function only returns the headers (inside the wrapper data) in the absence of a Location header

I was exploring to use php streams as an extension to the oauth project so that the curl dependency could be made optional, but this would require me to copy & paste a lot of logic from php_stream_url_wrap_http_ex() =(

To be documented: (Tip?): use ignore_errors=1 and max_redirects=0 to never follow redirects while being able to get headers and response body.

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
