ID: 47759 Comment by: alpegalpeg at gmail dot com Reported by: marques at displague dot com Summary: file_get_contents does not decode chunk encoded data Status: Bogus Type: Bug Package: HTTP related PHP Version: 5.2.9 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: There is a PECL module and also pure php workaround: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.http-chunked-decode.php#89786 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-03-25 12:18:35] marques at displague dot com Chunk encoding is a requirement of HTTP/1.1 clients. If file_get_contents is going to claim to be able to fetch http streams, then it needs to come forward about its limitation of HTTP/1.0 on it's manual page. This can only be inferred by reading the HTTP wrapper manual. In this way I have reported a documentation bug. Moreover, the HTTP wrapper should be made to be HTTP/1.1 capable. Although, in this century, lack of HTTP/1.1 support in an HTTP client is fairly crippling, this bug can be considered a feature request. Feel free to change the summary to more appropriately reflect one of these two bugs. The end result however is the same, file_get_contents does not decode chunk encoded data. http://php.net/file_get_contents http://us3.php.net/manual/en/wrappers.http.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-03-24 23:50:25] il...@php.net Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php . ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-03-24 13:39:48] marques at displague dot com Description: ------------ file_get_contents() does not decode HTTP content sent with "Transfer-Encoding: chunked". This is probably also true for fopen() and other HTTP stream handlers in PHP. RFC2616 section 3.6.1: All HTTP/1.1 applications MUST be able to receive and decode the "chunked" transfer-coding, and MUST ignore chunk-extension extensions they do not understand. Reproduce code: --------------- echo file_get_contents('somechunkedurl.html'); Expected result: ---------------- This is the data in the first chunk and this is the second one Actual result: -------------- 23 This is the data in the first chunk 1A and this is the second one 0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=47759&edit=1
