Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-06-15 16:57:56] john357smith at gmail dot com Description: ------------ When cURL is used with CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER set to TRUE or even without setting it (= default value is TRUE) there is a memory leakage with every call causing memory usage of php process to be constantly increasing. memory_get_usage() reports still the same value so it must be core problem. Keep test script running for more than 1 hour to see difference in memory usage (e.g. with top/htop etc.) After running this script for 24 hours I got 50% of system memory to be used (cca 2GB)! Test script: --------------- error_reporting((E_ALL)); while (TRUE) { $url = "https://www.yahoo.com/"; echo("Fetching $url ... \n"); $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_NOBODY, TRUE); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, TRUE); curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); usleep(200000); } Expected result: ---------------- No memory leakage even when script is running forever. Actual result: -------------- Memory usage is constantly increasing in time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76484&edit=1
