#44335 [Fbk->Opn]: fsockopen on localhost on Vista

ID: 44335 User updated by: php at smarinier dot net Reported By: php at smarinier dot net -Status: Feedback +Status: Open Bug Type: Network related Operating System: Windows Vista PHP Version: 5.2.5 New Comment: In fact, rebooting Vista, and trying the new PHP, i see the things working with 127.0.0.1. So this is in fact the "localhost" => 127.0.0.1 resolution wich is a problem. This is due to the fact that Vista added "::1 localhost" in its /etc/hosts file. This make (i don't know why) PHP5 failing on the connection, but php4.4.8 works with this. All of this seems to be an IPV6/IPV4 mess.

As far as i can see, this: - doesn't work with php 5.2.5, 5.2.1, 5.1.6, 5.0.3 : on Vista - works with PHP 4.4.8 on Vista, or with any PHP on Windows Server 2003. This is not the same problem as the getaddrinfo(localhost)->127.0.0.1, wich is a (stupid) security protection from Windows. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $fp = fsockopen('localhost', 80, $errno, $errstr, 30); if (!$fp) { echo "$errstr ($errno)<br />\n"; } else { $out = "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: localhost\r\nConnection: Close\r\n\r\n"; fwrite($fp, $out); while (!feof($fp)) { echo fgets($fp, 128); } fclose($fp); } ?> Expected result: ---------------- X-Powered-By: PHP/4.4.8 Content-type: text/html Content<br/>HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Wed, 05 Mar 2008 10:46:31 GMT Server: Apache/2.2.8 (Win32) PHP/5.2.1 Last-Modified: Sat, 20 Nov 2004 13:16:26 GMT ETag: "100000000be49-2c-3e9506e38be80" Accept-Ranges: bytes Content-Length: 44 Connection: close Content-Type: text/html <html><body><h1>It works!</h1></body></html> Actual result: -------------- PHP Warning: fsockopen(): unable to connect to localhost:80 (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 C:\PHP\test.php on line 2 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.
