Zend HTTP Client Invalid URI?

Question

I'm having trouble using Zend HTTP on a URL:

$client = new Zend_Http_Client('http://xxfire_killumiex.api.channel.livestream.com/2.0/info.json');
$feed = $client->request()->getBody();

For some reason, this gives me an error...

Invalid URI supplied

Whats wrong this this specific url?

Whats wrong this this specific url?

The underscore.

From RFC 1912

Allowable characters in a label for a host name are only ASCII letters, digits, and the `-' character.

Edit

After doing some more reading, it seems that Zend may be wrong in this case.

See Can (domain name) subdomains have an underscore "_" in it?

According to ZF-9671, you might be out of luck, though I've re-opened the issue.

My suggestion in the meantime; Create your own HTTP client class like this

class My_Http_Client extends Zend_Http_Client
{
    public function validateHost($host = null)
    {
        if ($host === null) {
            $host = $this->_host;
        }

        // If the host is empty, then it is considered invalid
        if (strlen($host) === 0) {
            return false;
        }

        return true;
    }
}

I ran a str_replace to replace it with %5F, it didn't make a difference. Underscores are valid URI characters anyways, so why would it be an issue? – Jason Axelrod Mar 15 '11 at 22:14
@Jason here is a regex that ZF uses to validate URI `preg_match('/^[0-9.a-e:.]*$/i', $value)` – criticus Mar 15 '11 at 22:19
I can replace it with %5F, I can run rawurlencode() on it... doesn't make a difference... still gives the same error. – Jason Axelrod Mar 15 '11 at 22:19
@criticus That's the IP address schema validation. The hostname validation pattern found in `Zend_Validate_Hostname` is `/^[a-z0-9\x2d]{1,63}$/i` – Phil Mar 15 '11 at 22:29
@Jason You can replace it with whatever you want but unless it contains only letters, digits or hyphen, it will fail – Phil Mar 15 '11 at 22:30
umm... no. Thats not how Zend_Http_Client works... the following url works perfectly fine `http://xifcsxswx.api.channel.livestream.com/2.0/info.json`. If it could only have letters digits and hyphens, then you couldn't have slashes or periods. This is a URL, not a string. – Jason Axelrod Mar 15 '11 at 22:38
@Jason Take note that I'm only referring to the **hostname** part. I've found some more information though and will add it to my answer – Phil Mar 15 '11 at 22:43
