#7515 — file_get_contents doesn’t access one URL

Subjectfile_get_contents doesn’t access one URL
Message-ID<9d2b587e-ec50-47cf-bec8-97b6b47c60e4@k6g2000vbr.googlegroups.com>
http://www.philadelphia.careerboard.com/job/3167962-MUMPS~2FCache-DBA.aspx

The above is a legitimate URL that I can access by copying it into the
address field of my browser.  However, as an argument to
file_get_contents I get the error message,

Warning: file_get_contents(http://www.philadelphia.careerboard.com/job/
3167962-MUMPS~2FCache-DBA.aspx) [function.file-get-contents]: failed
to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found

Any help would be appreciated.

Firefox sees a web page. Wget sees a 301 redirect followed by a 404:

Denis,

Not quite.  Firefox gets the same 301 and 404.  But FF loads some 
Javascript (must be part of the 404 error page) and continues processing 
from there.

They are obviously doing what they can to prevent people from doing just 
what the op is trying to do.

I have Javascript disabled and the page still loads in Firefox.

Could it have anything to do with using an HttpOnly cookie?

HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
Date: Mon, 12 Nov 2012 20:56:50 GMT
...
Set-Cookie: ASP.NET_SessionId=kyj2do654xkl2auwhtsjrvyo; path=/; HttpOnly
...

 From http://php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php

When TRUE the cookie will be made accessible only through the HTTP 
protocol. This means that the cookie won't be accessible by scripting 
languages, such as JavaScript. It has been suggested that this setting 
can effectively help to reduce identity theft through XSS attacks 
(although it is not supported by all browsers), but that claim is often 
disputed. Added in PHP 5.2.0. TRUE or FALSE

I didn't actually try it with javascript disabled - I just looked at the 
headers.  But it obviously is an attempt to not allow just what you're 
trying to do.

Do you have the owner's permission to access the page via a script?  If 
so, the webmaster should be able to help you.

I am not the OP.  I am merely speculating on how it is done.

Not only is it off-topic in this newsgroup, but I don't like to discuss 
security implementations (especially someone else's) in a public forum.

Sorry.

Two possible problems to investigate:

1: '/' is url-encoded ('~2F'). What happens if you don't do that?

2: you may have to send a 'host:' header:
(example copied from the php site and modified)

<?php
// Create a stream
$opts = array(
  'http'=>array(
    'method'=>"GET",
    'header'=>"Host: www.philadelphia.careerboard.com\r\n"
  )
);

$context = stream_context_create($opts);

// Open the file using the HTTP headers set above
$file = 
file_get_contents('http://www.philadelphia.careerboard.com/job/3167962-MUMPS~2FCache-DBA.aspx', 
false, $context);
?>
