#50965 [Bgs]: fsockopen will not work on 'localhost'

ID: 50965 User updated by: tony at marston-home dot demon dot co dot uk Reported By: tony at marston-home dot demon dot co dot uk Status: Bogus Bug Type: Sockets related Operating System: Windows XP PHP Version: 5.2.12 New Comment: I did respond in the original bug, but you closed it before finding out if your suggestion about removing the IPV6 entries from my hosts file actually worked. I put in a reply saying that it hadn't worked, but you never re-opened the bug. I assumed that as you had closed it that you were refusing to answer any more queries about it. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-02-08 11:40:47] aharvey@php.net OK, bug #50953 has been reopened. In future, please post in the original bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-02-08 11:35:00] tony at marston-home dot demon dot co dot uk That is because he closed the bug without waiting to see if his suggestion about removing the IV6 entries from the hosts file actually worked. He he hasn't provided a solution then the bug is not closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-02-08 11:18:19] aharvey@php.net Correction: bug #50953 isn't open. That still doesn't merit opening a new one, IMO. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-02-08 11:16:33] aharvey@php.net Please don't open duplicate bugs in an attempt to "bump" existing open bugs. It's been less than 19 hours since your last post in bug #50953; I'm quite sure Pierre will respond when he's able. Closing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-02-08 11:06:37] tony at marston-home dot demon dot co dot uk 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. Connected to 127.0.0.1 OK Connected to desktop OK Connected to www.tonymarston.net OK ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=50965&edit=1
