header funcition

nabberuk

i have the following code (just testing at the minute)

   $link = "sig2dat:///|File:Phil Collins - Testify_ALBW(nabber.net).mp3|Length:68870303 Bytes,67256KB|UUHash:=JvjoFLIF/fW95GhWUiHz0b5khMQ=|";

header("Location: $link");

now when i run the file, it doesnt do anything, but if i change $link to http://www.google.co.uk it works.

so can the header function actually handle links that begin with sig2dat://

thanks in advance

you could try using

echo "<html>\r\n<head>\r\n"
echo "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;url=$link\" />\r\n"
echo "</head>\r\n<body />\r\n</html>\r\n"

Iv'e never heard of the "sig2dat" protocol.

Try a HTTP address, a HTTPS address or a FILE address and it will work.

so can the header function actually handle links that begin with sig2dat://

Possibly, if that protocol ever existed.

I had a browse on the net, and found out that sig2dat is a tool for using signatures (hashes) to share exact copies of a file with Morpheus 1.3.3, Kazaa, Grokster or iMesh.

It's not a valid internet protocol.
