#31612 [Opn->Bgs]: No error message returned from curl_error() when connection fails by IP.

ID: 31612 Updated by: iliaa@php.net Reported By: brian dot sanders at cometsystems dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: cURL related Operating System: Fedora Core 3 PHP Version: 5.0.2 New Comment: Likely a bug with old libcurl version. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-01-31 14:02:51] daniel at haxx dot se This may in fact depend on what error message libcurl reports back, and then this may change depending on what libcurl version you use. There are/were in fact times when libcurl doesn't return an error message (which is considered a bug). Unless the PHP/curl binding is modified to use the curl_easy_strerror() function. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-01-19 17:02:15] brian dot sanders at cometsystems dot com Description: ------------ When requesting a file from a bad IP (in this case 127.0.0.1, with no Web server running) cURL fails to retreive a page (as expected.) curl_errno() returns an error code of 7, but curl_error returns NULL. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://127.0.0.1'); $result = curl_exec($ch); print('Error code: '.curl_errno($ch)."\n"); print('Error message: '.curl_error($ch)."\n"); ?> Expected result: ---------------- 7 Failed to connect (or some such error) Actual result: -------------- 7 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=31612&edit=1
