Description:
------------
When php 5.4.9 is built against curl-7.28.1, curl_multi_getcontent($stuff) does not return the full content of the web page but truncates some characters from the beginning.  See the following downstream bugs for more details:

https://sourceforge.net/p/curl/bugs/1172/

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=444788

In the gentoo bug, please look at comment #14 since it pin points the curl commit that deprecated CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST=1 and led to the breakage in php.

Test script:
---------------
    <?php
     
    $cm = curl_multi_init();
    $stuffs = curl_init();
    $curl_options = array(
            CURLOPT_URL => 'http://www.google.ca',
            CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => 1,
            CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST => 0,    // these are the problem
            CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => 0,    // toggle 0/1 to test
            CURLOPT_HEADER => 1
    );
    curl_setopt_array($stuffs, $curl_options);
    curl_multi_add_handle($cm, $stuffs);
    do { curl_multi_exec($cm, $running); } while($running > 0);
    $content = curl_multi_getcontent($stuffs);
    $info = curl_getinfo($stuffs);
    curl_multi_remove_handle($cm, $stuffs);
    curl_multi_close($cm);
    print_r($info);
    // cuts off too much, the header size is incorrect
    echo mb_substr($content, $info['header_size']);
     
    ?>


Expected result:
----------------

This bug was introduced when the support of the value 1 for 
CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST was removed in 7.28.1.

In your code sample, you're using curl_setopt_array. How this function work 
internally is that it will loop over all your options and set them one by one on 
your curl handle using the libcurl curl_easy_setopt function. If one of this set 
fail, the function will break the iteration and will return false.

In your case, when you're using libcurl 7.28.1, curl_setopt_array will fail when 
it will try to set CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST to 1, and then will not set 
CURLOPT_HEADER. The result of your curl_exec function will then not include the 
headers. Then when you remove the begining of your string to remove your header, 
you're in fact removing the begining of your content since there is no header 
included in the original string.

If you move your CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST to the end of your array this should fix 
your problem. Can you confirm ?

I started a discussion on internal to see how we want to deal with this problem.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.

When using libcurl < 7.28.1, if someone try to set
CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST to 1 (or true), set the value to 1, but trigger
a notice to inform that this value is deprecated.

When using libcurl >= 7.28.1 if someone try to set
CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST to 1 (or true), set CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST to
2, trigger a notice to inform the user that this value is no longer
supported as of libcurl 7.28.1 but keep returning true.
