    HELLO,

    i have to run this url inside my script to ensure the moving of listners from a station to another..
    
file_get_contents('http://user:pass@mywebsite.com:8000/admin/moveclients.xsl?mount=/radio&destination=/serveur');
    Code (markup):
    But it gives this error :

    Warning: file_get_contents ..... HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request

    when tying with another URL for example file_get_contents('http://www.google.com');

    it work without any problem.. i think the probleme come from the authentification 
    [url]http://user:pass@mywebsite.com[/url]
    Code (markup):
    .

    The problem could also be from the port 8000 or the .xls extension. If the page truly validates a user based on the url, then file get contents should still work. In that case the .xls or the :8000 are where I'd be concerned.

    You may try using curl instead of file_get_contents. It's quite a bit more complicated but it has much more advanced functionality. Also, you may need to urlencode part of the url to get file_get_contents to work properly.

    Hello the probleme doesn't come from the port :8000 because its working like that : http://www.xxx.com:8000

    also URL encoding didn't work for me.

    I think you need to use stream_context_create function.
    Here is the code example from manual:

    
$url = 'http://protectedstuff.com';
$auth = base64_encode('user:password');
$header = array("Authorization: Basic $auth");
$opts = array( 'http' => array ('method'=>'GET',
                                           'header'=>$header));
$ctx = stream_context_create($opts);
echo file_get_contents($url,false,$ctx);
