Description: ------------ When using a proxy `pear channel-discover XXX` won't succeed. The following patch fix that problem for me, but obviously its just an ugly hack: --- Downloader.php 2008-11-03 13:51:34.000000000 -0200 +++ /usr/share/pear/PEAR/Downloader.php 2008-11-03 11:44:07.000000000 -0200 @@ -1601,7 +1601,7 @@ return PEAR::raiseError("Connection to `$proxy_host:$proxy_port' failed: $errstr", $errno); } if ($lastmodified === false || $lastmodified) { - $request = "GET $url HTTP/1.0\r\n"; + $request = "GET $url HTTP/1.1\r\n"; } else { $request = "GET $url HTTP/1.0\r\n"; } Test script: --------------- `pear config-set http_proxy http://proxy.example.com:8080/` `pear channel-discover pear.example.com` Expected result: ---------------- Adding Channel "pear.example.com" succeeded Discovery of channel "pear.example.com" succeeded Actual result: -------------- Discovery of channel "pear.example.com" failed (channel-add: Cannot open "http://pear.example.com/channel.xml" (File http://pear.example.com:80/channel.xml not valid (received: HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request)))

Beware the diff was made with the arguments inverted.

Still the same. $ pear channel-discover pear.chiaraquartet.net Discovering channel pear.chiaraquartet.net over http:// failed with message: channel-add: Cannot open "http://pear.chiaraquartet.net/channel.xml" (File http://pear.chiaraquartet.net:80/channel.xml not valid (received: HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request )) Trying to discover channel pear.chiaraquartet.net over https:// instead Discovery of channel "pear.chiaraquartet.net" failed (channel-add: Cannot open "https://pear.chiaraquartet.net/channel.xml" (File https://pear.chiaraquartet.net:443/channel.xml not valid (received: HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request ))) If I unset my proxy settings, it will give me a connection error (as expected): $ pear config-set http_proxy "" config-set succeeded $ pear channel-discover pear.chiaraquartet.net Discovering channel pear.chiaraquartet.net over http:// failed with message: channel-add: Cannot open "http://pear.chiaraquartet.net/channel.xml" (Connection to `pear.chiaraquartet.net:80' failed: Connection refused) Trying to discover channel pear.chiaraquartet.net over https:// instead Discovery of channel "pear.chiaraquartet.net" failed (channel-add: Cannot open "https://pear.chiaraquartet.net/channel.xml" (Connection to `pear.chiaraquartet.net:443' failed: Connection refused))

The following patch has been added/updated: Patch Name: fix URL: patch fix

Ok found it. According to HTTP 1.1 specs it was missing the "Host" in the request. The patch fixes it.

This bug has been fixed in CVS. If this was a documentation problem, the fix will appear on pear.php.net by the end of next Sunday (CET). If this was a problem with the pear.php.net website, the change should be live shortly. Otherwise, the fix will appear in the package's next release. Thank you for the report and for helping us make PEAR better.
