Bug #48584 [Com]: soapclient's option connection_timeout not respected while fetching wsdl

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=48584&edit=1 ID: 48584 Comment by: bcware at gmail dot com Reported by: giunta dot gaetano at gmail dot com Summary: soapclient's option connection_timeout not respected while fetching wsdl Status: Open Type: Bug Package: SOAP related Operating System: winxp PHP Version: 5.2.9 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: The issue described is not related to total execution time. That is consistently controlled by the default_socket_timeout and a separate issue. The issue is with the timeout to retrieve the WSDL when the SoapClient object is created. If the SOAP server does not response to the WSDL request, the SoapClient on Win will wait for full default_socket_timeout before returning. The workaround to set a global value is very clumsy. It seems that the WSDL request should either respect the connection_timeout for the soap request, or have its own parameter.

Still I find it quite cumbersome (and counterintuitive). Here's a better syntax btw, especially when creating a library and not just a one-page app <?php ... // Wait one second for connection when retrieving WSDL: $deftimeout = ini_get( 'default_socket_timeout' ); ini_set('default_socket_timeout', 1); try { $c = new SoapClient('http://123.123.123.123/bla.wsdl'); ini_set( 'default_socket_timeout', $deftimeout ); ... } catch (exception $e) { ini_set( 'default_socket_timeout', $deftimeout ); ... } ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-06-23 19:20:45] sjoerd-php at linuxonly dot nl Thank you for your bug report. The connection_timeout option defines a timeout in seconds for the connection to the SOAP service. This option does not define a timeout for services with slow responses. To limit the time to wait for calls to finish the default_socket_timeout setting is available. <?php // Wait one second for connection when retrieving WSDL: ini_set('default_socket_timeout', 1); new SoapClient('http://123.123.123.123/bla.wsdl'); ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-06-17 14:18:14] giunta dot gaetano at gmail dot com Description: ------------ The socket timeout option for soap clients is only respected when executing calls, but not when fetching the wsdl itself. This makes it quite hard to use remote wsdl files and provide to the end user an interface with a definite timeout (eg. 5 secs). Current code does not seem to use the timeout value in c function get_sdl in php_sdl.c Reproduce code: --------------- create a soap client pointing to a wsdl on an inexisting server set connection_timeout option to 5 in client constructor Expected result: ---------------- error msg after 5 secs Actual result: -------------- error msg after 1 min ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=48584&edit=1
