Even if it is the same server you might not connect with "127.0.0.1"
as the source IP address - especially not if the other web site's host
name resolves to any other IP address than 127.0.0.1. Your tcp
connection might still be performed via the loopback-interface, but
your source IP address might still be the one of a network interface
Try to create a page on the second web site (that you want to access
thorugh fopen() ) that outputs the client's IP address. You'll
probably see that your source IP address is not 127.0.0.1.
