Description:
------------
Using fsockopen on Windows Server 2003 from the CLI, appears not to work at all, php returns with a unable to connect.

using either local loopback, IP address or hostnames



Expected result:
----------------
It should at least try and connect, however it returns immediately saying it can't connect, it doesn't appear to even try.

I went back to PHP 4.3.11 on the server at it all works fine with that version.

Hi.

I was seing this problem on WindowsXP using XAMPP 1.4.13 with bundled PHP5 (v5.0.4) using PHP with apache2 updating to the referred CVS snapshot doesn't fix this issue.

Looking at the Ethernet Comms with Ethereal with both v5.0.4 and the CVS snapshot the SYN for the connection is sent and the SYN-ACK recieved from the remote host together with the ACK to the SYN-ACK being sent before PHP gives up and returns the following error:

Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to sandbox.ftwr.co.uk:80 (A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. ) in C:\apachefriends\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-includes\class-IXR.php on line 514

Cheers
