file_get_contents/curl alternative

[eluser]Tud[/eluser]
Hello,

I'm developing an application which is using a customer IIS server.
On the server "allow_url_fopen" is off and curl extension is not installed

What can i use instead of file_get_contents?
Thanks

Hm, your options are a bit limited then.
Ajax / jQuery may do the trick.

Cheers,

Can't use JS cross-domain unless the target trusts you.
If you have access to the source you are trying to fetch, you can use many other alternatives like json, soap, xml etc.
