#27814 [Asn]: Multiple small packets send for HTTP request

ID: 27814 Updated by: pollita@php.net Reported By: Olaf at XCC dot TMFWeb dot NL Status: Assigned Bug Type: HTTP related Operating System: * PHP Version: 5CVS-2004-04-07 Assigned To: wez New Comment: It's too late for the 5.0 branch (which is in final RC stage), but it's under consideration for the 5.1 branch. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-04-19 03:02:02] OvdSpek at LIACS dot NL Will a buffer be added? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-03-31 17:55:02] wez@php.net You're correct; there is no write buffering for the http request. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-03-31 14:48:37] Olaf at XCC dot TMFWeb dot NL Description: ------------ This code sends two packets, one of 16 bytes and one of 17 bytes. I guess this is caused by multiple calls to php_stream_write in http_fopen_wrapper.c: php_stream_url_wrap_http_ex Preparing the entire request in one buffer and sending it via one call should produce less packets (and be faster). Reproduce code: --------------- <?php echo strlen(file_get_contents("http://php.net/")); ?> Expected result: ---------------- One packet of 33 bytes. Actual result: -------------- Two packets. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=27814&edit=1
