If you are currently using this functionality in your PHP code, there is
a more powerful and
flexible option available. PHP provides excellent support for curl
library and its associated
functions.

One of our own users has written a short article describing how it is
used and that can be found
here:
http://blog.unitedheroes.net/archives/p/1630/

The official PHP documentation for it is here:
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ref.curl.php


This change will significantly improve the security of PHP-based
applications running on our
servers

any possiblity of getting curl support in this script?


also why does it rely on the allow_url_fopen function for links/files within the same site? I added some folders inside my forums directory for the downloads and the hack picks them up in the scan but then the links to the files don't work because the allow_url_fopen function isn't allowed, but it seems that that function shouldn't be necessary for this ability.
