http://jpaweb01.planetarion.com/ cannot be resolved to an IP Address

[flikman]

I'm having trouble resolving http://jpaweb01.planetarion.com/ to an IP Address.

I'm trying to send a GET request to the server for the page. My code works for a dummy html file, but its struggling with the subdomain I think.

Any ideas?

what language are you using
what code are you using to try to get the page
have you tried it with other internet servers or just a test on localhost

( also be aware using bots gets your account closed if its for automating things on an ingame account. - i sincerely hope you`re trying to access the botfiles )

[flikman]

<?php

$fp = fsockopen("http://jpaweb01.planetarion.com", 80, $errno, $errstr, 30);
if (!$fp) {
echo "$errstr ($errno) :S<br />\n";
} else {
$out = "GET /showscan.pl?scan_id=xxxx HTTP/1.1\r\n";
$out .= "Host: jpaweb01.planetarion.com\r\n";
$out .= "Connection: Close\r\n\r\n";

fwrite($fp, $out);
while (!feof($fp)) {
echo fgets($fp, 128);
}
fclose($fp);
}

?>

It produces output

Success (0)

but thats an error message :S

Trying to open scan pages

Just look at the difference between your code and the example code on http://uk.php.net/fsockopen
You're using http:// before the hostname. But you want a TCP connection. So leave it out.

You might find using PHP's curl support easier. Or learning Perl.

The resource he is using, show_scan.pl, doesn't require an account to access.

Indeed

Still, what queball said is right. Prefixing with "http://" will break stuff. "jpaweb01.planetarion.com" it should be, without trailing slash even.
Anything behind the slash is done by the HTTP protocol.
However, can't you do a file open in PHP to retrieve pages from other servers?

This should do the trick too I believe. I use it for parsing a POTD page.

$website = $website = "http://japanese.about.com/";
$page = "index.html";

$f = fopen($website . $page,"r");
while (!feof($f)) 
{
	$text .= fread($f, 8192);
}

fclose($f);

Thanks,

the fopen may indeed work but I wanted to try out a manual GET request.
