Not the common "failed to open stream: HTTP request failed!" problem

[xieliwei]

I have a freshly installed openSuSe 10.2 with PHP4 from
http://download.opensuse.org/reposit...openSUSE_10.2/
(openSuSe abandoned PHP4 since version 10, but I have customers who
need php4 support)

The version strings are as follows:
# uname -a
Linux server2 2.6.18.2-34-default #1 SMP Mon Nov 27 11:46:27 UTC 2006
i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux

# php -v
PHP 4.4.0 (cli) (built: Jun 1 2007 08:43:26)
Copyright (c) 1997-2004 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v1.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2004 Zend Technologies

# httpd2 -v
Server version: Apache/2.2.3
Server built: Nov 25 2006 18:25:39

The problem here is that URL fopen does not seem to be open, despite
allow_url_fopen set as On in php.ini and phpinfo() reflecting it.

A simple fopen("http://www.example.com", r) returns the error "failed
to open stream: HTTP request failed!" in BOTH PHP-in-apache and PHP-
cli.

I have checked my network configuration, nameservers and gateway
settings are set up properly, I can also ping and visit the URL i'm
trying to open.

Been looking around for a week now, seen no solution, unless it
slipped by me.

Hmmmz, have you tried an fsockopen() instead of an fopen(), and if so,
does that give the same problems or not?

I currently have some other problems on the server, so it isn't
convenient to test it. However, if I remember correctly, that didn't
work either.

Whoops, guess I was wrong. fsockopen() works well, so I guess my HTTP
wrapper is damaged or something?

Sorry to bump, but does anyone have a solution?

Nope, sorry, if an fsockopen() works (can connect and grab contents), and
a fopen() doesn't, and allow_url_fopen is on, I'm stumped. I'd almost say
there was something wrong with your PHP install. Can't be a 100% sure
though.
