#20759 [Fbk->Opn]: fopen sometimes hangs

ID: 20759 User updated by: mitra_php@mitra.biz Reported By: mitra_php@mitra.biz -Status: Feedback +Status: Open Bug Type: HTTP related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.2.3 New Comment: Thanks for the suggestion, but the PHP timeout isn't the problem - its fopen that is hanging. It should fail allowing the script to handle the error gracefully (in my case moving on to the next URL). The PHP timeout only fails the whole PHP script if nothing happens in 60 seconds. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-02 04:24:55] wez@php.net Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php4-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-latest.zip In PHP 4.3, there is a new ini setting which allows setting a default timeout. Please try PHP-4.3.0RC2 from http://qa.php.net. Be sure to read the NEWS file for info about the timeout option. (the default is 60 seconds). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-02 04:21:55] mitra_php@mitra.biz Sometimes fopen of an http URL just sits there - no error, no results, typically when it does this PHP refuses to output ANY output for that page. FOr example fopen("http://anyurl.com","r") works fine but fopen("http://reptile.peerfear.org/reptile/servlet/sitefilter/http/www.cnn.com/WORLD","r") Just sits there for ever. Its possible that reptile is misbehaving, although this URL works fine in a browser, and in any case fopen shouldn't just sit there. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=20759&edit=1
