Re: curl_exec won't return (any data)

exec-sum update : details continued at http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2011-02/0101.html it turns out using the internetdomainname of the apache server is the source of the problem. the adsl router could be dropping the connection, or something else. calling curl_exec() to a localhost address will work fine for the time that it takes. (no traffic back for 1hr, then a short status msg only) however my media import routines are useless if i only can use 'm on localhost. so the idea i will try tommorow is outputting keepalive weird-bytes on the text/html level from the php_script import-script, and then stripping them in php_daemon_script. i would like to know if i can use feof() to check that ffmpeg launched via popen() has terminated.. i think so, but the docs aren't perfectly clear.
