My Php Proxy Script..request Feedback

[jbach]

Hi

Can any php experts provide feedback on the following url proxy script?

 

Initially it threw an error, saying the HTTPRequest2 class was missing.

So I went to my cpanel, located that particular PHP script and tried installing it.

Got an error though trying to install (Thats another issue!)

 

<?php

// First validate that the request is to an actual web address

if(!preg_match("#https?://#", $_GET['path'])) {

header("HTTP/1.1 404 Not found");

echo "Content not found, bad URL!";

exit();

}

 

// Make the request

$req = new HTTP_Request2($_GET['path']);

$response = $req->send();

// Output the content-type header and use the content-type of the original file

header("Content-type: " . $response->getHeader("Content-type"));

// And provide the file body

echo $response->getBody();

?>

I am not versed in HTTPRequest2 but the preg_match I don't think will work with hashes and without a start and end delimiter.

 

Surely it would have to be something more like:

 

>if(!preg_match('/https?:\/\//', $_GET['path'])) {

 

I thought hashes were used for comments.
