I have a script that uses curl to call a worker function on another server. For small workloads, it works just fine. But when my script processes a large zip-file and updates some status files, curl_exec never returns the result data even though the called script does send it.

I would guess that the receiving script is having trouble. Perhaps it isn't configured to receive a large amount of data? Or not enough memory? Or exceeds runtime for script? Check of any of the following php.ini settings are causing you grief for the receiving script. max_execution_time = 30 memory_limit = 32M upload_max_filesize = 5000000

post_max_size       = 5000000

thx rob, but i dont think that's it. the scripts never deal with large amounts of data directly, they just exec() unix zip binary and wait for those results. the data sent between scripts is actually just the status messages. i've been able to get my operation to work by instituting a 3 minute timeout and automated retry. but it's far from ideal.
