There's no bug here. It tries to connect and will sit there waiting for reply from the server until the script times out. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-10-22 07:16:06] panda dot management at free dot fr Description: ------------ Hello! I'm using Norton Internet Security as a firewall. It has a feature I couldn't find documentation for... It simply doesn't allow the string ".htaccess" to be sent. (eg: I can't submit a form containing the word .htaccess !!!!!!!). Problem is: when NIS is on, and you try a file_get_contents(http://site/.htaccess); file_get_contents just hangs and eats cpu... I'm aware that: - such a file shouldn't be accessed via http anyway - "the deny access" part of this is Norton's problem, not php. But: php might be concerned by the hang up in file_get_contents in such circonstancies. Reproduce code: --------------- Considering you use Norton Internet Security under WinXP on the computer you execute the script from... Try this (that's a file on my site): file_get_contents('http://panda.management.free.fr/rest/.htaccess'); Expected result: ---------------- A nice error message...

Norton Internet Security obviously does something tricky to block the access (arguing that it contains the string .htaccess). But maybe file_get_contents should behave in a more sensible way on such an error? Thank you for php!!!
