Bug #74181 [NEW]: Different configurations for serving www.php.net?

From: james at jameswestby dot net Operating system: Linux PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Website problem Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Different configurations for serving www.php.net? Description: ------------ Hi, We have a bot that watches for new versions of php by scraping the website occaisionally. It sometimes reported that it couldn't find the latest release in the page. After debugging for a while I found that sometimes it was being redirected to /search.php by http://www.php.net`. Testing lots of queries against www.php.net shows different behaviours, indicating perhaps a mix of servers for it, with different configurations? Test script: --------------- $ curl -I http://www.php.net/ Expected result: ---------------- Same behaviour whichever backend server is reached. Actual result: -------------- Here are two consecutive responses I received with curl -I: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Tue, 28 Feb 2017 14:43:00 GMT Server: Apache Last-Modified: Tue, 28 Feb 2017 13:30:11 GMT Content-language: en X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN Set-Cookie: COUNTRY=NA%2C86.31.132.166; expires=Tue, 07-Mar-2017 14:43:00 GMT; path=/; domain=.php.net Set-Cookie: LAST_NEWS=1488292980; expires=Wed, 28-Feb-2018 14:43:00 GMT; path=/; domain=.php.net Link: <http://php.net/index>; rel=shorturl Connection: close Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently Server: nginx/1.6.2 Date: Tue, 28 Feb 2017 14:43:01 GMT Content-Type: text/html Content-Length: 184 Connection: keep-alive Location: http://php.net/ You can see that the nginx is behaving differently to the apache. The bot was seeing a redirect to /search.php sometimes, but I haven't seen that with curl yet. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=74181&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74181&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74181&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74181&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74181&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74181&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74181&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74181&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74181&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74181&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74181&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74181&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74181&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74181&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74181&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74181&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74181&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74181&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74181&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74181&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74181&r=mysqlcfg
