When using fopen() to open an URL, $http_response_header
is empty if the server responds with a 4xx or 5xx status.

My script:

<?php

  $fp = fopen('http://localhost/no-such-file.txt', 'r');
  print_r($http_response_header);

?>


With PHP 4.2.3 I get

Warning:fopen("http://localhost/no-such-file.txt", "r") - Network is unreachable in /home/errath/packages/php-4.2.3/test.php on line 3
Array
(
    [0] => HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
    [1] => Date: Thu, 10 Apr 2003 10:06:38 GMT
    [2] => Server: Apache/1.3.23 (Unix)
    [3] => Connection: close
    [4] => Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
)

but with PHP 4.3.1 and 4.3.2RC1 I get:

Warning: fopen(http://localhost/no-such-file.txt)
[http://www.php.net/function.fopen]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

In case this was a PHP problem, snapshots of the sources are packaged
every three hours; this change will be in the next snapshot. You can
grab the snapshot at http://snaps.php.net/.
 
In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up soon at
http://www.php.net/manual/.

In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show
up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites in short time.
 
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.
