THat is a bit intriguing why it works in some cases and others it doesn't. I do not use the Curl library functions except for things that you cannot do with the current fsockopen based socket connections. In the latest PHP versions there is not much that you cannot do with socket connections that you can do with Curl. In any case, I have encapsulated HTTP client fucntionality in the class that I mentioned, so it uses fsockopen or curl functions depending on what you need and what is available in the underlying PHP version. This way I achive a PHP version independent solution. -- Regards, Manuel Lemos PHP professionals looking for PHP jobs http://www.phpclasses.org/professionals/ PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
