From: tony at marston-home dot demon dot co dot uk Operating system: Windows XP PHP version: 5.2.12 PHP Bug Type: Sockets related Bug description: fsockopen will not work on 'localhost' Description: ------------ When are you going to provide a proper answer for post http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=50953 ? I have removed the IPv6 entries in my hosts file, but the problem is still there. Reproduce code: --------------- function connect($host) { $faultcode = null; $faultstring = null; $conn = fsockopen($host, 80, $faultcode, $faultstring, 20); if (!$conn) { echo 'faultcode=' .$faultcode .', faultstring=' .$faultstring ."\n"; } else { echo "Connected to $host OK\n"; } // if return $conn; } // function $result = connect('localhost'); $result = connect('127.0.0.1'); $result = connect('desktop'); $result = connect('www.tonymarston.net'); Expected result: ---------------- I expect to see the message "Connected to <host> OK" for all values of host. Actual result: -------------- Warning: fsockopen(): unable to connect to localhost:80 faultcode=10060, faultstring=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.
