卷曲页面不起作用

Question

I have this code to load external pages on my website:

<?php 
function curl($url){
            $ch = curl_init();
            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
            curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION,true);
            $data = curl_exec($ch);
            curl_close($ch);
            return $data;
  }


  $url = 'http://rooster.csvincentvangogh.nl:8081';
  $contents = curl($url);
  echo $contents;
?>

It works for most sites, but not the one I need: http://rooster.csvincentvangogh.nl:8081. Is this because of the :8081? It needs to be there though, otherwise the site doesn't work... How could I fix this? Is there an alternative way, in stead of curl?

I tested it on http://portquiz.net. Ports such as 80 and 8080 work, but e.g. 8888 and 8081 not. http://rooster.csvincentvangogh.nl:8080 works too, but that has different directories and not the pages I need. I really do need the pages on :8081...

Thanks in advance!

i GUESS its because its detecting the 404 error and thus want to return an "error" (bool(false)?) to warn you, so it discards the body and ignores CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFERS. anyway, use this.

function curl($url,&$body){
            $ch = curl_init();
            $tmpfile=tmpfile();
            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
            curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_FILE,$tmpfile);
            curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION,true);
            $ret = curl_exec($ch);
            $body=file_get_contents ( stream_get_meta_data ($tmpfile) ['uri'] );
            curl_close($ch);
            fclose($tmpfile);
            return $ret;
  }

also consider CURLOPT_STDERR with CURLOPT_VERBOSE to get detailed information about what curl is thinking ^^ (often very useful debug info when "it doesn't work")
