I have created a webpage to get the HTTP headers of a page.  This worked fine with 4.0.5 (using the $http_request_header variable.)  But, in 4.0.6, almost all websites give me a 400 Bad Request Error when using this script.  To get the webpages I use

$pagefile=file("http://$url");

where $url is the url (without the http://)  I want to use.  The only site I have found that does not give me a 400 error is www.yahoo.com.  As I said, this script worked fine with 4.0.5 and I have not changed anything since using 4.0.6.  I just installed PHP 4.0.6 today (June 23.)  I compiled it with Apache 1.3.20 using all the same configure stuff, etc...  Compiling process went normal.  I can usually debug things like this, but I cannot figure out what would have caused this one.  I am guessing PHP is sending corrupted requests, but I really don't know.

Whoa!  I figured something out.  If I request http://finance.yahoo.com (without the last slash) I get 400 errors, but with the slash (http://finance.yahoo.com/) it works fine.  As does any other page on the site (http://finance.yahoo.com/index.html)  I think PHP is sending "GET  HTTP/1.0" because I used the script on MY site and in my error log file, it says "Invalid URI 'GET  HTTP/1.0'"

reclassified.

ok...do you see what I mean?
 [2001-06-27 13:43 UTC] sniper@php.net 
No, this works for me just fine.
Do you get any error messages? In apache logs?

Yes, (my intranet site address, which I use the script on,
is http://intranet)  If I requested "http://intranet" I
would get a 400 error and in the Apache log, it would say
"Invalid URI 'GET  HTTP/1.0'" instead of a valid request
"GET / HTTP/1.0"  BUT, if I request "http://intranet/" (WITH
THE END SLASH), everything works fine!

Maybe you should read related documentation (the Apache manual would do if the HTTP RFC is too hard to congest for you).

And where in "http://intranet" do you request "/"? Nowhere.

This is bogus.

Ah, sorry, I should've read the whole PR.
 [2001-07-11 10:34 UTC] cheapsalsa at yahoo dot com 
Please ignore my first post.  I didn't know exactly what the
problem is.

Fixed in CVS
