Description:
------------
When the result of a web service function is a big string, PHP sends the error : Uncaught SoapFault exception: 
"[HTTP] Error fetching http headers in (/usr/local/ etc...)"

The code used to make it crash is very simple.


Reproduce code:
---------------
on the server, let call our file "soap-server.php" with the code :
<?php 
function crashfun{
   for($i=0,$i<=2000000,$i++){
      $result.='x';
   }
   return $result;
}

$server= new soapserver('somewsdlfile.wsdl') 
$server->addfunction('crashfun');
$server->handle();
?>



on the client side, let invoke the web service in "soap-client.php" :
<?php
$client=new soapclient("somewsdlfile.wsdl");
print($client->crashfun());

?>

put all the files in the same directory


Expected result:
----------------
when you call on the command line "php -f soap-client.php > shit | vi shit", you see a beautiful file filled with "x"s.

set the upper bound for the for loop in the code to 100 000  and everything works well

set it to 2 000 000 and it crashes.

sorry i didn't take the time to check the exact limit for this upper bound and it's about 1 000 000



Actual result:
--------------
the actual result is the bug mentionned in "description"

if someone wants a wsdl file that works with then just ask me
(basically there is one function returning a string a taking no argument so very simple)

Try to incrise "memory_limit" in your php.ini.
Your soap server dies because of memory overflow and doesn't send HTTP response.

This is not a bug.

The problem is well addressed by the way you told me.
It works well.

The point is that your Soap extension consumes a large amount of memory.
In fact I set the memory limit to 64M to address the problem raised by the code above. 64M is much for a single php process. But if you change the upper bound to 3 million instead of 2 then it does not work anymore, so you would need memory_limit like 128M which is not reasonable.

The code above is a big variant of real world server code that should send a 800K string filled with db stuff. The server can send this 800K string through Soap only if memory_limit>256M. So at the moment there is only a solution  to make the service work : use sockets or switch on asp.net

Please tell me wether you plan to address it or not.

it's seems like the bug is fixed. Congratulations !
however I wasn't able to install php 5.1 the "easy way". I had  much work to do after having configured with --enable-soap to get things work and I could not use the code above because the function soapclient doesn't work well with these sources.

Regards, 
Ivan
