I agree, but why is the script ending? Does PHP is set to stop running as soon as it knows the size of the reply, required by an HEAD request? How can I override this? (by "script" I mean the PHP script. Your previous post forks PHP and runs a system command without exiting it when the script exits ("nohup" should be used instead of the output redirection), I understood that but it is not what I need; I need the PHP script to keep running until the end)
