I wanted to copy files from a remote server, but it seems that the remote host is using session, and needs cookies.

well I used this method
after defining variables…

$url="http://example.org/exmple.mp3";
$nn = "\r\n";
$cookies="";
$request = GET . " " . str_replace ( " ", "%20", $url ) . " HTTP/1.1" . $nn . "Host: " . $host . $nn . "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080404 Firefox/2.0.0.14" . $nn . "Accept: */*" . $nn . "Accept-Language: en-us;q=0.7,en;q=0.3" . $nn . "Accept-Charset: windows-1251,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7" . $nn . "Pragma: no-cache" . $nn . "Cache-Control: no-chache" . $nn  . $proxyauthorization . $referer . $cookies . "Connection: Close";

$fp= socksopen($Proxy,$port, $errno, $errstr, 15 );

socket_set_timeout ( $fp, 120 );

fputs ( $fp, $request );

fflush ( $fp );

//read header

$i = 1;

do {

$header.= @fgets ( $fp, 128 );

$i++;

} while ( strpos ( $header, $nn . $nn ) === false );

echo $header;

fclose ($fp);

now I have the header with cookies that the url said :

HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily Content-length: 0 Content-type: text/html Server: Sun-ONE-Web-Server/6.1 Date: Mon, 28 Dec 2009 13:40:53 GMT Set-cookie: ERIGHTS=5YAaxxmNsMuTK87E1TCAohwDRuyqBaCgM-oehmg24bkzHplCtmgn7zMA==;path=/;domain=.example.org Set-cookie: WLSESSION=1528980108.20480.0000; expires=Tue, 29-Dec-2009 13:40:52 GMT; path=/ Location: http://example.org/exmple.mp3&tag=1 Via: 1.1 proxy-server1 Proxy-agent: Sun-Java-System-Web-Proxy-Server/4.

then I did some sting code and built this in the code:

$cookies="ERIGHTS=5YAaxxmNsMuTK87E1TCAohwDRuyqBaCgM-oehmg24bkzHplCtmgn7zMA==, WLSESSION=1528980108.20480.0000";

re-requesting the url with same method mentioned above
and again i have got same header with another cookies

It seams that the remote website is treating me as a first-time visitor each time and sets new cookies gain

what is wrong?

    First off, congratulations for trying to do this by hand yourself instead of using something pre-packaged like cURL. “Real programmers” do that from time to time, even if it’s less efficient or reliable, because it increases our understanding of the systems we use and build.

    Now, on to the problem at hand.

    You’re not transmitting the cookies to the server correctly. Your code is sending just the cookie value itself, not the “Cookie” headers that you need to send. The correct way to send a cookie with a request is Cookie: name=value, as in Cookie: ERIGHTS=5YAaxxmNsMuTK87E1TCAohwDRuyqBaCgM-oehmg24bkzHplCtmgn7zMA==,WLSESSION=1528980108.20480.0000.
