Bug #76342 [NEW]: file_get_contents waits twice specified timeout

From: hadrien dot sibboni at tagpay dot fr Operating system: Debian 7, Windows PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Streams related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:file_get_contents waits twice specified timeout Description: ------------ Hello, I am using file_get_contents to get a url on a web server (apache 2.4). I am using a stream context to specify the timeout. 1) The script will wait as much as twice the timeout specified. 2) If it gets an anwser between the specified timeout and twice this timeout, although it waited for the answer, it will still fail with a warning. This was done on php versions : 7.2.3/Windows, 7.2.4/Debian 9.4 5.6.23/Debian 7.11 Test script: --------------- client code : <?php $timeout = 4; $context_options = array ( 'http' => array ( 'timeout' => $timeout, 'method' => 'GET', ), ); $context = stream_context_create($context_options); $start = microtime(true); $content = file_get_contents('http://localhost/test.php', false, $context) . PHP_EOL; $end = microtime(true); echo 'content: ' . $content; echo 'duration: ' . ($end - $start); server code: <?php sleep(10); exit(); Expected result: ---------------- The script should only wait the timeout specified in the stream context. Actual result: -------------- If the sleepTime > 2*timeout : in given code : 10 > 2*4 Output is : PHP Warning: file_get_contents(http://localhost/test.php): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! in /path/testFile.php on line 17 content: duration: 8.0089149475098 If timeout < sleepTime < 2*timeout : will wait ~sleepTime, and still fail. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76342&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76342&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76342&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76342&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76342&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76342&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76342&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76342&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76342&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76342&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76342&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76342&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76342&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76342&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76342&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76342&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76342&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76342&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76342&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76342&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76342&r=mysqlcfg
