Sorry, didn't pay attention to the registered streams :-(

You need to install a PHP package with ssl or compile it with
--with-openssl.

Most likely allow_url_fopen = Off in the test server php.ini.  If you
had error reporting on it would tell you.

ah so you were there when php core developers decided that BC would be 
completely broken and
all core errors would be throw as exceptions? me, I must have missed that.
php exceptions are generally a user level construct - the php core generates 
error not exceptions
(with the exception of a few OO based php extensions [php intended])

you might consider that you probably need to work with a tool for a little 
longer than
5 minutes before being in a position to determine whether a change to the tool 
is possible or
desirable. php is used by 100,000's of people changing the language is not 
something
you do 'just like that'

I'm not a core developer either, but that doesn't stop me following development 
issues
and discussions on their mailing list.

I'm dutch, I don't speak german - I can guess at the meaning of the above but 
for the sake of
everyone else stick to english, the language used on this list, please.

Actually, IE is dropping (has dropped?) support for the
username:password part because their users are too dumb to chop out
their password before posting their URL or something...

I found this in some KB article somewhere, I think...

They didn't actually express it as user stupidity, mind you. :-)

$var =
file_get_contents('http://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/path/to/secret/file.txt');

This is standard web syntax - e.g. it will work in a web browser, wget,
curl, etc.

file_get_contents() does the file handle operations internally, so it
only expects the name of the file.  If you want to use file handles
yourself, then you should just fopen(), fread(), and fclose().

>From : "file_get_contents (PHP 4 CVS 
only)".  That's why it's not in your version.  Reading further, it says 
"Identical to readfile(), except that file_get_contents() returns the file 
in a string."  So if don't need to do additional manipulation of the 
contents, there is one viable alternative.  The user annotations suggest 
two additional alternatives.
