Hi all,

I need some , I am trying to access a service that binds to the
loopback address on my linux FC8 server. I think PHP functions but I
am unable to get any response back from the fgets() command below.

The service is GoogleDesktop for Linux, I am aware of all of the
restrictions in place to prevent what I am trying to do but I want to
try anyway. It seems to me that my http request should look just like
an http request from Firefox to the Google Desktop Search, so I
thought that I could mimic that request by using fsockopen and fgets.

I captured all of the headers in a request using Live Headers plugin
in Firefox, when I replay the headers with a GET request in Firefox it
works fine.

So my question is "what is wrong with my code below?" I should get an
error message back at least right? fgets returns nothing.

I even tried to do it with another website instead of 127.0.0.1, just
like cnn.com, again fgets returns nothing not even an error.


<?php


$fp = fsockopen("127.0.0.1", 31846 , $errno, $errstr, 30);
if (!$fp) {
echo "$errstr ($errno)<br />\n";
} else {

$out = "GET /?hl=en_US&src=14&s=4xrcacQv6jHUIsB0GtlFZ2j9QJw HTTP/1.1\r
\n";
$out .= "Host: 127.0.0.1:31846\r\n";
$out .= "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:
1.8.1.3) Gecko/20070320 Firefox/2.0.0.3\r\n";
$out .= "Accept: text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/
html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5\r\n";
$out .= "Accept-Language: en-us,en;q=0.5\r\n";
$out .= "Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate\r\n";
$out .= "Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7\r\n";
$out .= "Keep-Alive: 300\r\n";
$out .= "Connection: keep-alive\r\n\r\n";



fwrite($fp, $out);
while (!feof($fp)) {
echo fgets($fp, 4096);
}
fclose($fp);
}

?>

Try:

$out .= "Connection: Close\r\n\r\n";

I'm not sure whether it has something to do with your problem but there's
no point in telling the server to keep the connection open if your script
won't handle it. Keep us informed.
