Three hours ago I was working on my site, then I had a nap, and now my file_get_contents request isn't working.
$Url = sprintf( "http://www.wowhead.com/item=%u?xml", $EntryId );
$Xml = file_get_contents( $Url );
Display ID for example could be 30987. The url formed: http://www.wowhead.com/item=30987?xml
This works in a browser - but in my site I get: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed!.
I don't really get it - because it worked perfectly just 3 hours ago.
Does anyone have any idea? Thanks.
They way you are reading the HTTP content can be the problem. You are reading it as a file. That does not send proper HTTP headers. Server may refuse to serve the page contents when the request is not formatted properly. Read the contents of the URL using HTTPRequest
