<?php
   error_reporting(E_ALL);
   ini_set('display_errors', '1');

   $file_handle = fopen("http://www.example.com/", "r");

?>

The above script results in

Warning: fopen(...) failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.0 400 Bad Request ...

Notes
(i) allow_url_fopen is open for both local/master value
(ii) I'm running the php script on xampp/windows 8
(iii) get_headers(), http_get(), and file_get_contents() works with no error.

Please tell me what could be wrong?

Should we assume that the actual URL you are using is not `http://www.example.com/` – RiggsFolly May 10 '17 at 15:14
Is there any other information in the PHP Error log? – RiggsFolly May 10 '17 at 15:15
I advise you to use CURL to read webpages – Raymond Nijland May 10 '17 at 15:16

It didn't work with example.com or any other websites – user7991670 May 10 '17 at 15:19
there is no php error file generated – user7991670 May 10 '17 at 15:25
I've a problem with curl too, I've got a blank page.MNo error information given. – user7991670 May 10 '17 at 15:28
I suspect it is a xampp or windows 8 problem. What should I be checking? – user7991670 May 10 '17 at 15:30
I got a blank page when using the code at [link]http://stackoverflow.com/questions/697472/php-file-get-contents-returns-failed-to-open-stream-http-request-failed[/link] – user7991670 May 10 '17 at 15:32
yes, now try to print the handle. – Exprator May 10 '17 at 16:07
This is the code, This is the error Warning: fopen(http://www.schrenk.com/nostarch/webbots/hello_world.html): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request in C:\xampp\htdocs\examples\LISTING_3_1b.php on line 8 – user7991670 May 10 '17 at 16:39
