Using fopen to access a remote file will fail if the URL path contains spaces.

A server contains the following files:

/Test Dir/default.asp
/TestDir/default.asp

The following fopen will succeed:

$f = fopen ("http://server/TestDir/default.asp", "r");

while this one will fail:

$f = fopen ("http://server/Test Dir/default.asp", "r");

I have tried replacing them with "%20" and escaping the spaces "\ " but neither succeed.

The above fails on both IIS and PWS.

Can you verify if this is still true for PHP 4.2RC2?
get it from: http://www.php.net/~derick
If it still has problems, are you in a position to
sniff the network packets to see what it going on?

The same problem occurs on 4.2RC2. However, I do not have access to (or am allowed to use) any network sniffers.

I test this with PHP 4.3.0-dev (CVS) and using %20 works.
Please try this snapshot:

Yes, it now works fine. Thanks.
