Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-10-18 23:02:15] mikeb at xamo dot com Description: ------------ When requesting the CURLINFO_CONTENT_TYPE using curl_getinfo(), if there is an error (such as connection error) or missing header for any reason, running the function using specifically curl_getinfo($fd,CURLINFO_CONTENT_TYPE) will cause a PHP core dump. The problem seems to be that the function does not check for the instance of the Content-Type: header before it tries to parse it. Temporary workaround is simply not using the function, and parsing for the data yourself. Reproduce code: --------------- <? $ch=curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,"http://sell.yahoo.com/"); curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_HEADER,1); curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1); $contents=curl_exec($ch); // the following line will cause a core dump // as sell.yahoo.com does not return an appropriate Content-Type header. Also happens on connect errors. $content_type=curl_getinfo($ch,CURLINFO_CONTENT_TYPE); curl_close($ch); ?> Expected result: ---------------- Should return content-type in the HTTP Header (if it exists, or false/empty string if it doesnt exist) Actual result: -------------- PHP Core Dump. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=30475&edit=1
