Oh, and another thing: if anybody's going to implement this using sockets instead of fopen(), make sure to send the header "Connection: close" in the request to the remote server. These days most servers implement HTTP 1.1, which activates persistent connections by default ie. you'll never get EOF and you'll always time out. I'm not sure how fopen() overcomes this, it either has other means of detecting that the request was answered or it uses "Connection: close" too. -- Skippy - Romanian Web Developers - http://ROWD.ORG -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
