Description:
------------
The Open function of the XMLReader object does not seem to have a configurable timeout. This means that my PHP app seems to 'hang' for 30 seconds while connecting to an external xml source that has an outage. It would be good if it had a configurable timeout so I can set that to a low number, like for example the curl functions or

For me, this has caused a partial site outage on a big project where multiple Apache processes are hung up on PHP waiting to open a remote XML feed that happens to be inaccessible.

All XML extensions use the PHP streams. You can define a shorter timeout using php.ini. Not a bug > bogus.

Or by setting it in the default stream context just before the open.
