Hi,

there is missing a controlfunction opening an url.

in case of using an authorisation-system (like novell client trust)
in a private network the auth-server sends a redirect to a ssl-port.

using a webclient a certificate will be transferred and a login-screen will be shown.

the problem is, fopen can open the socket, but can't handle the redirection.
after reaching the timelimit an errormessage is diplayed (tested with 10 minutes timeout).

after login on the trust-server using a webclient php is able to open the requested
document.

so the redirect-url should be caught and displayed as a warning,
fopen should return false, so the following parts in the php-script can be
executed.

regards
