[PHP] accessing protected remote files

Re: [PHP] accessing protected remote files
That's what I thought too, but it's not happening...fopen() is simply returning an error. --Dave On Monday, March 31, 2003, at 09:35 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Assuming you are retrieving this file via http/https then it's really the remote server that will enforce the access control in whatever manner is uses. I.e., if your script tries to open a file whose access is controlled by a .htaccess file (and http-basic authentication) the user will simply get the authentication prompt when they access your page/php script. -- Original Message -- From: David Feldman [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Monday, March 31, 2003 09:13:00 AM -0500 Subject: [PHP] accessing protected remote files I have a script that needs to open a remote file on another Web server, which may or may not be protected (for example, by an htaccess file).
