-Summary: CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER and CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST
incompatibility?
Reported By: matteo at beccati dot com
-Status: Open
+Status: Verified
Bug Type: cURL related
-Operating System: Win32 - Linux
+Operating System: *
-PHP Version: 4.3.5-dev
+PHP Version: 4CVS, 5CVS (2004-02-23)
New Comment:
When you run the script, it hangs a while here:
curl.c:1021 error = curl_easy_perform(ch->cp);
And finally it returns:
CURLE_PARTIAL_FILE
The error string it gives is: "transfer closed with 6484 bytes
remaining to read"
Test script:
<?php
$ch = curl_init('http://bugs.php.net/gifs/logo-bug.gif');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'HEAD');
var_dump(curl_exec($ch));
?>
(notice: not using CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER :)

Just downloaded the latest win32 snapshot (STABLE-200402231730), and
tried the code with http://bugs.php.net/ (which is a PHP script) and an
image file (http://bugs.php.net/gifs/logo-bug.gif).
The issue still exists when doing HEAD requests to static files.

Works just fine with latest CVS.
<?php
$ch = curl_init('http://bugs.php.net/');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'HEAD');
var_dump(curl_exec($ch));
?>
Results in:
tring(154) "HTTP/1.1 200 OK

I beg to differ.
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER is not an option that libcurl provides, it is an
option that the PHP/CURL layer has invented and uses.
Thus, we cannot fix this in the curl project. It is not a curl bug!

You're probabiliy correct saying that it's not a PHP bug, but it really
seems a wrong cURL behaviour to me.
When setting CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER I'm asking curl_exec to return the
result instead that outputting it, but result isn't returned, neither
printed out.
Thank you for your help.

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions.
Thank you for your interest in PHP.
Not PHP bug (if it even is a bug which I doubt).
Ask the curl author(s).
