    Problem reading files from sockets...

    Hey there. I have a small problem with sockets. The code is really
    simple, but it still fails.

    The problem is I am accessing a .rar file (for those who don't know
    it's an archive, like .zip) through fsockopen and I'm only getting the
    headers... The file is not coming.

    # Open the host
    $fp = fsockopen($url['host'], 80, $errno, $errstr, 30);
    # Ask for the file. $method is GET and $GET is the path and filename
    of the file (files/eye.rar).
    $out = $method.' '.$GET.' HTTP/1.0
    ';

    # I also send HOST header properly
    # and user agent

    # Send a blank line to indicate end of headers
    $out .= '
    ';

    fwrite($fp, $out);
    $buffer = fread($fp, 4000000);
    print $buffer;
    die;

    The result is:

    HTTP/1.1 200 OK
    Date: Mon, 11 Feb 2008 14:25:48 GMT
    Connection: close
    Content-Type: application/octet-stream
    Accept-Ranges: bytes
    Content-Disposition: Attachment; filename=eye.ra r
    Content-Length: 466159

    I should have gotten the headers + a part of the file. Why didn't I?

    Can anyone help me, please?
Working...
