hey all,

I think I have found a bug in PHPDig were it is not passing cookies for all requests.

When PHPDig does a HEAD request to a file, it passes all the cookies properly, but when it actually goes to read the file it uses the PHP file(...) function instead of doing a proper GET request. (admin/robot_functions.php, phpdigTempFile(...) function, line 682)

Why does this matter? Well, I have a multilingual site that uses the PHP session to find the current language setting to render the appropriate text. By not sending cookies, I cannot restore my session to find the proper language setting and thus always get the default text.

I have coded a fix for myself to solve my problem by creating a phpdigfile(...) function that executes a proper GET request instead of using the file() function.

Has anyone else run into this problem?
