In that case, there needs to be a way to get errors from the streams layer in userspace. I need to
_handle errors_, and the documentation is irrelevant if the capability is lacking.
(The only alternative I see is using an error_handler to parse the warning string, which is easily
broken by locale or strings changes. I quit using streams and switched to cURL as a workaround,
although I'd really prefer streams.)
Updating summary/category to reflect the problem I'd like to see fixed.

It's not an error callback, it's notification callback.
Try this and you'll see what it actually does:
<?php
function stream_err()
{
$args = func_get_args();
var_dump($args);
}
$ctx =
stream_context_create(array('http'=>array('method'=>"GET",'header'=>"Accept-language:
en\r\nCookie: foo=bar\r\n")));
$ret = stream_context_set_params($ctx, array('notification'=>'stream_err'));
$fp = fopen('http://www.example.com',
'r', false, $ctx);
?>
The streams documentation really needs some loving care.. :)

Description:
------------
The streams API doesn't appear to actually call the error callback. This is definitely true if
the connection fails, or if the expected hostname doesn't match the SSL certificate. In the
latter case, there is no reliable way of detecting the error.
The reproduce code is a cut-down version of a test script being run through the CLI, while I figure
out the streams API. I get the same behavior from 5.2.3 and 5.2.4RC2.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$HOST_NAME = 'secureservicesonline.com';
$CA_DIR = '/etc/ssl/certs'; // change this if needed
function stream_err() {
$args = func_get_args();
echo("[stream_err, args=");
print_r($args); // which are undocumented, btw
echo("]\n");
}
$ctx = stream_context_create(array('ssl'=>array('verify_peer' => true,
'CN_match' => "$HOST_NAME.invalid", 'capath'=>$CA_DIR)));
$ret = stream_context_set_params($ctx, array('notification'=>'stream_err'));
var_dump($ret);
$errno = $errstr = null;
$fp = stream_socket_client("ssl://$HOST_NAME:443", $errno, $errstr, 30,
STREAM_CLIENT_CONNECT, $ctx);
var_dump($errno);
var_dump($errstr);
if( $fp !== false ) {
fclose($fp);
}
?>
Expected result:
----------------
[stream_err, args=Array ( ...... )]
Actual result:
--------------
PHP Warning: stream_socket_client(): Peer certificate CN=
secureservicesonline.com' did
not match expected CN=secureservicesonline.com.invalid' in /.../https_client.php on line
52
Warning: stream_socket_client(): Peer certificate CN=secureservicesonline.com' did not
match expected CN=secureservicesonline.com.invalid' in /.../https_client.php on line 52
