Description:
------------
Hi, 

I am connecting a http server, using soap client.Since the http server is not responding, the soap client remains connecting to it.So the apache port becomes in time_wait and it stops listening from further request. It leads to a situation where the apache has to be restarted.
It is similar to 33765, but here the server is not responding, so the apache hangs



Reproduce code:
---------------
$client = new SoapClient(NULL,
        array(
        "location" => $location,
        "login" => "root",
        "uri" => "urn:gsnmp",
        "password" => "12345678",
        "exceptions" => 1,
        "trace"    => 1,
        "features"=>SOAP_WAIT_ONE_WAY_CALLS
           ));
ini_set('default_socket_timeout', 10)
$result = $client->__doRequest("",$locationwithdata,"",1);


Expected result:
----------------
The soap client should wait for few seconds and returns error or soap fault.
So that it should avoid from apache hanging.


Actual result:
--------------
It makes apache server to hang and needs to restart for processing further request

Hi,

I used the php version of 5.2. But still the problem is existing and the whole apache is getting hang and not processing further request. It needs restart of the apache.

Can you please help me overcome this problem.

Thanks

SoapClient::__doRequest() shouldn't return fault it should return SOAP response (XML representation).
Use SoapClient::__soapCall() instead and you will get fault.

BTW PHP shouldn't hang.
How does SOAP server respond?
(HTTP headers, timeouts, response body)

I don't connect to soap server, I connect it to http server.
Nothing is sent back to the php.

I cannot reproduce hangup.

1. May be your web server runs just one process and cannot accept connection. Try to add "connection_timeout" into SoapClient constructor.

$client = new SoapClient(NULL,
        array("connection_timeout => 10, ...

2. In case if you are calling one-way operation without response, you should add additional argument (one_way operation) to __doRequest() call.

result = $client->__doRequest("",$locationwithdata,"",1,1);

Still it gets hangup.
Is it possible to mention non-blocking mode of connection in soap request

Please run the following script from command line and provide output.

<?php
$server = stream_socket_server('tcp://127.0.0.1:31337');
$location = "http://127.0.0.1:31337/";
$client = new SoapClient(NULL, array(
  "connection_timeout" => 4,
  "location" => $location,
  "uri" => "test://",
  "features"=>SOAP_WAIT_ONE_WAY_CALLS));
ini_set('default_socket_timeout', 2);
$result = $client->__doRequest("",$location,"",1,1);
var_dump($result);
$result = $client->__doRequest("",$location,"",1);
var_dump($result);
$client->test();
fclose($server);
?>

Which version of PHP do you use?
The one-way operations are supported since php-5.1.4 and you reported that bug is in php-5.1.4, but SoapClient::__doRequest() accept 5 arguments in php-5.1.4.
So you probably use some old version that doesn't support one-way operations.
