#16000 [Opn->Csd]: fpassthru and timeouts

ID: 16000 Updated by: vrana@php.net Reported By: lance_laureys at 3com dot com -Status: Open +Status: Closed Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: 2000 Server PHP Version: 4.1.2 New Comment: This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better. However, I think this is nothing to do with Timeouts. It's probably some bug in IE causing that if you send Content-Length header, it waits very long. I get it once on HTTPS connection with very similar script to yours. Removing Content-Length solved the problem.

All suggestions and ideas welcome :) It's related to: Directive: max_execution_time Function: set_time_limit Docs: features.connection-handling Stated is a default 300 second limit in IIS/CGI, do other web servers and SAPI combinations have such issues? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-08 03:48:27] yohgaki@php.net > I did find the solution.

If it is not raised, IIS assumes that the script is done or > hung and kills it. Made this to a doc problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-03 23:33:38] yohgaki@php.net Some browsers have hard coded timeout. Try different browsers see if it helps. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-11 11:28:34] lance_laureys at 3com dot com There seems to be a timeout problems with using fpassthru. Code : header( "Content-type: application/octet-stream" ); header( "Content-Length: $c_ByteSize" ); header( "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$F\"" ); $fp = fopen("D:\\CarrierFTP_Files\\".odbc_result($result, "FilePath").$F,"r") or die("Can't find file."); fpassthru($fp); When the person starts getting the file, after 5 min 2 sec it quits and tells me it has finished. I have increased timeouts everywhere, but it never gets the file. Suggestions on this? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=16000&edit=1
