Re: SV: [PHP4BETA] fopen not working on URL - no reason that I can find From: Alexander Fordyce (alex <email protected>)

Aaarghh! I found my problem. There was a highly sneaky form of
authentication which was creeping in and blocking access to the
dynamic pages. I couldn't see it while browsing because my browser
was already authenticated.

Incidentally, the way I found this is via a net client module called
Snoopy. I used this module to fetch the page instead of doing a
fopen, and it gave me the clue I needed... instead of giving the
rather strange warning I mentioned below, it actually returned my
authentication function's error message. I fixed that problem and
everything's working again.

Doh!

Thanks for the response in any case.
Cheers,
Alex
