ID: 41631 Comment by: guyphp at yahoo dot com Reported by: david at acz dot org Summary: default_socket_timeout does not work with SSL Status: Assigned Type: Bug Package: OpenSSL related Operating System: * PHP Version: 5.2, 5.3 Assigned To: pajoye Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: This bug has caused us a lot of headaches due to hung connections from partners stacking and eventually taking down entire webservers. During high traffic periods, it doesn't take long for these to reach critical mass. Is there any ETA on when this bug will find its way into stable builds? Like many, our managed hosting provider doesn't support patches - we need a stable build with the fix integrated. We are seeing this problem on 5.2.13, RHEL 5.5.

As mentioned previously, this has the potentially to have major effects (Denial of Servide) etc due to processes hanging and never timing out. # cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 (Tikanga) # php -v PHP 5.2.12 (cli) (built: Dec 17 2009 12:23:35) Copyright (c) 1997-2009 The PHP Group Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2009 Zend Technologies # uname -a Linux linux 2.6.18-164.el5 #1 SMP Tue Aug 18 15:51:48 EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-10-16 20:14:25] arkadi dot shishlov at gmail dot com At least it would be helpful to set TCP keep-alive on socket so OS could timeout it eventually, otherwise there are connections stuck for days. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
