Tunelling link data through PHP?

Question

I want to be able to go to mydoma.in/tunnel.php?file=http://otherdoma.in/music.mp3, and then get the data of http://otherdoma.in/music.mp3 streamed to the client.

I tried doing this via Header();, but it redirects instead of "tunelling" the data.

How can i do this?

Answer 1

Use cURL for streaming:

<?php

$url = $_GET["file"];

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_BUFFERSIZE, 256);

curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

?>
