Description:
------------
This bug has been reported numerous times and it still is not fixed, even though the dozens of previous reports have been closed:

http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=24867

http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=12360

This is a serious bug.  For example, it enabled a hacker to hang the whole anti-spam engine of AccuSpam.com.

How can we simulate a timeout for fsockopen to work around this bug (since it seems it will NEVER be fixed)???

Is there some other safe test we can do on the "target" before calling fsockopen to determine a target that will lockup the application?

I do not think so.

So that means instead we will have to set up a thread that monitors for hung threads.  Yuk!  Why can't you guys fix this thing after so many years?

Tested/used many times and works just perfectly on Linux.
Fix your system instead or give us more information about it.
Just complaining never helps.

Dup of stale bug #24867

Breathe, it was only 'closed' because the submitter of the bug didn't respond for over a week ("No Feedback"). Provide us with more information, please. "See previous bug reports" does not help us at all.

Quoting Wez's comment from bug #24867:

"There is no bug here that PHP can fix; move along."
