Hi
I have been working on this download script for quite a while, and I
just can't find how to download a remote file via a user's browser using
fsockopen.
Basically I am wondering if anyone can just give me a simple working
example on how to use fsockopen() to fetch a file on a remote server,
and then pop up a save dialog box in my browser. For example, let's say
I want to download this file from here:
http://remotedomain.com/file.zip
Instead of putting this directly into my browser and then being prompted
to save it to my pc, how can i use fsockopen() to fetch the file, and
get the same prompt on my browser? E.g. I want to be able to do
http://localhost/index.php?url=http://remotedomain.com/file.zip
I know that this does not seem the most obvious and easy way to do it,
but i simply cannot get a file to download myself using fsockopen. I
specifically want this function, as I need to POST headers to the server
and I haven't as yet been able to download a file using it, without it
being corrupt, or the connection hanging. I just can't figure it out,
and I'm getting a bit tired with it!
I don't need a whole hand-made script, I just need the part where
fsockopen will download this file. Perhaps a working function that would
do it. Please try not to use classes or objects because I haven't quite
figured out object-oriented programming yet!!
Also, I would like if you can do it via HTTP 1.0 because I know HTTP 1.1
is tricky, and might require a chunk decoder, and i don't see the need
for it, unless someone is able to provide a working chunked data decoder.
Thanks to anyone who can help. :)
