Bug #70361 [NEW]: HTTP stream wrapper doesn't close keep-alive connections

From: me at kelunik dot com Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Streams related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:HTTP stream wrapper doesn't close keep-alive connections Description: ------------ Downloading a file with file_get_contents("http://example.com/example.json"); defaults to using HTTP/1.0. RFC compliant servers should respond with a HTTP/1.1 in such a case if they support HTTP/1.1. Some servers initiate a keep-alive connection in that case, resulting a client hang, because PHP waits until the connection is closed instead of relying on the Content-Length header. This behavior should be fixed in two ways: (1) Always send "Connection: close" – even for HTTP/1.0 requests – and (2) use Content-Length to determine the end of a response and close the connection then. My attached patch only fixes the first point.
