note 92588 added to function.fsockopen

For some reason the default FreeBSD 7.0 port (jailed environment) breaks fsockopen() on SSL URLs, returning a constant stream of nothing! In my case this resulted in php-cgi bringing down lighttpd completely, in rapid time! Avoid FreeBSD/jails/fsockopen + SSL. Use curl_init() instead. ---- Server IP: 87.124.35.190 Probable Submitter: 87.194.70.98 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fsockopen.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/92588 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92588/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92588/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92588/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92588/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92588/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92588/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92588 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/92588 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
