That's exactly what i'm doing. I need curl_exec() to absorb the response to requests that take over 1hr to complete, because i want to be able to run different parts of the media import process on different servers. > it also seems to me, that this really isn't a PHP specific issue, so all > the posts that you're doing, really doesn't pertain to the PHP mailing > list, so (and sorry to say this) maybe stop posting all the incremental > updates you're doing, and when there is a major break through, or > someone has an idea on how to help solve your issue, update us. > > Steve. I wish to have a complete log of this bughunt somewhere online, one of the many websites with the php mailing list content will do nicely. I suppose i could've chosen to subscribe to the libcurl mailinglist, but this seemed a good place because i thought to find many people that use libcurl in different ways here. And at the start it could've been the php-cli, or the apache, or the lib-curl, i just didn't know. Even though lib-curl atm looks the more likely suspect, i'll continue this log here. If you don't like it, don't read it. With a decent mail reader it is shoved under 1 header anyways.
