note 114867 added to context.http

Note that if you set the protocol_version option to 1.1 and the server you are requesting from is configured to use keep-alive connections, the function (fopen, file_get_contents, etc.) will "be slow" and take a long time to complete. This is a feature of the HTTP 1.1 protocol you are unlikely to use with stream contexts in PHP. Simply add a "Connection: close" header to the request to eliminate the keep-alive timeout: <?php // php 5.4 : array syntax and header option with array value $data = file_get_contents('http://www.example.com/', null, stream_context_create([ 'http' => [ 'protocol_version' => 1.1, 'header' => [ 'Connection: close', ], ], ])); ?> ---- Server IP: 216.235.13.26 Probable Submitter: 173.177.132.92 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/context.http.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/114867 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114867/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114867/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114867/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114867/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114867/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114867/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114867 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/114867 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
