Send Header() Through Socket

Oni

Heyas,

I have a socket connectiona and am trying to send the headers- 'Header()' through the socket...

Any idea how to do so? I haven't tried just sending it as normal data, which actually might be the thing to do, now that I think about it?

Thanks--

you are talking about an http connection right? if so yea you send the headers through the socket. the http protocol specifies the headers are sent first, one per line seperated by a CRLF. The last header contains 2 CRLF's after it, followed by the body.
So its like
Header1\r\n
Header2\r\n
Header3\r\n\r\n
Body stuff here...

Something wrong here?

socket_write($socket,"
   HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n
   Content-Length: $fsize\r\n
   Content-Type: application/force-download\r\n
   Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$fname\r\n
   Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary\r\n\r\n");

Yeah, you've got double line breaks. After each \r\n, you have a hard enter inside the string, so PHP sends that enter along with it.

Either combine this all onto one line of code, or use periods to concatenate differenet string pieces for each line.
