#185 failed to open stream: HTTP request failed!

[Si Anh Pham]

When excuting these code:

require_once 'simple_html_dom.php';
$url = "https://www.globalfitness.com/";
$html = file_get_html($url);
var_dump($html);

there is warning:

Warning: file_get_contents(https://www.globalfitness.com/): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden in C:\xampp\htdocs\Newfolder\simple_html_dom.php on line 82
bool(false)

This site uses Cloudflare to protect against web crawlers and bots. Error 403 indicates that access to the site was denied, which may or may not occur depending on Cloudflare. This is not a bug in simplehtmldom.

Yes it is.

You're not setting a user agent in either the curl code or the stream_context code. Any properly configured server will reject the requests, which makes the project useless.

You need to either add a generic user agent (recommend google bot) or provide a way for the user to pass in their own user agent to the function.
