Note Submitter: mugginsoft ---- Note that feof() will return true if the socket times out. The docs for fsockopen state() that you have to call stream_set_timeout() to set timeouts for reading and writing but the feof() timeout behaviour seems on by default. The default feof() timeout is 60 seconds but it can be hard to detect on processes that become incrementally longer that feof() timing out is an issue. The default socket time-out can be overridden like so: <?php ini_set('default_socket_timeout','1200'); ?> Also note that the timeout used to open the socket is of no relevance here. Drupal 6 users should note that http_request() uses feof() and is therefore susceptible to timing out.
