fopen("https... doesnt work for me

[DaDane]

When I try to do:

$fp=fopen("https://someserver.com/somepage.php");

I get warning (error):

Warning: fopen(https://someserver.com/somepage.php) failed to create stream. No such file or directory in C:...

It seems pretty obvious that it don't know https right?

I have installed OpenSA2.0.2 which includes Apache (2.0.44), PHP (4.3.0), ModSSL (2.0.44), OpenSSL (0.9.6g).

I am using a windows platform.

Doesn't [man]fopen()[/man] require two parameters?

[DaDane]

Yep

I wrote it wrong here. I do have an "r" (for read only") as my 2. parameter.

Have you read the manual entry for [man]fopen()[/man] and the links?

One of the links leads here, double check that allow_url_fopen is set to true. Anoher one of the links leads here, so we know that https is supported and therefore the problem must be somewhere else.

Does the location require authentication, and if so, how are you providing it?

Well, if I ommits the s in https it works

I have (with success) tried:

	$filename="http://www.google.com/";

$fp = fopen($filename, "r");
$cont = fread($fp,10000);
fclose($fp);

echo $cont;

But when I change $filename to:

	$filename="https://www.google.com/accounts/";

it complains

Warning: fopen("https://www.google.com/accounts/", "r") - Invalid argument in c:\apache\apache\htdocs\test.php on line 4

Warning: fread(): supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in c:\apache\apache\htdocs\test.php on line 5

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in c:\apache\apache\htdocs\test.php on line 6

I am using php 4.3.7. And I do have SSL support. On phpinfo() I get:

PHP Version 4.3.7
Build Date Jun 2 2004 15:45:18

openssl
OpenSSL support enabled

OpenSSL Version OpenSSL 0.9.7c 30 Sep 2003

I have played a bit with other versions of SSL, but with no difference.
