ID: 27341 Updated by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -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 :) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-02-23 14:08:08] matteo at beccati dot com 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-02-21 12:19:57] [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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 Date: Sat, 21 Feb 2004 17:19:33 GMT Server: Apache/1.3.28 (Unix) PHP/4.3.4-dev X-Powered-By: PHP/4.3.4-dev Content-Type: text/html " ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-02-21 08:30:19] daniel at haxx dot se 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! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-02-21 04:10:55] matteo at beccati dot com > Ask the curl author(s). Done. http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=901648&group_id=976&atid=100976 > Not PHP bug (if it even is a bug which I doubt). 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-02-21 02:57:08] [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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).
