#40287 [NEW]: Opening stream to 'localhost' fails

From: torarnek at pvv dot org Operating system: Windows Vista PHP version: 5.2.0 PHP Bug Type: Streams related Bug description: Opening stream to 'localhost' fails Description: ------------ When opening a stream to a file in an apache server running locally, using an url with 'localhost' to refer the local host, it times out with an error message. However, using 127.0.0.1 to refer the localhost works. I searched the web and found a reference to the issue: Title: Binding to localhost throws exception in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/aa972193.aspx Reproduce code: --------------- $url = "http://localhost/scoop/www/test2.html"; $fil = fopen($url, 'r'); if ($fil) { while(!feof($fil)) { echo fgets($fil); } fclose($fil); } Expected result: ---------------- Should return a stream to the file. Actual result: -------------- Warning: fopen(http://localhost/scoop/www/test2.html) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. in E:\workspace\scoop\Scoop\www\test.php on line 6 Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in E:\workspace\scoop\Scoop\www\test.php on line 6 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=40287&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40287&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40287&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40287&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40287&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40287&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40287&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40287&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40287&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40287&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40287&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40287&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40287&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40287&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40287&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40287&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40287&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40287&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40287&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40287&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40287&r=mysqlcfg
