Description:
------------
I am experiencing problems when using multi-threaded cURL requests.

When I have more than about 5 threads connecting using HTTPS, all subsequent threads fail to connect (regardless of the timeout used).

I presume this is because PHP hasn't implemented the CRYPTO_callback functions to prevent OpenSSL locking.

Sorry I have no idea how to implement this fix myself - but the solution to the problem is elaborated here:
http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2004-06/0086.html

Sorry I don't know how to patch it myself.
However cURL insist that this must be implemented at the highest thread level - it cannot be implemented in libcurl (I don't understand why). Therefore it must be implemented in the PHP code.

To help flesh out this problem and the solution - the example OpenSSL locking code is given by cURL here:

This is clearly documented in the libcurl tutorial and has been required by libcurl for years.

Available online here:

http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-tutorial.html#Multi-threading

Certainly we are open for other/new solutions, but that doesn't fix this problem for you for older libcurl installations.

Mike, since you got this thing to work with pecl/http could you have a look at implementing the callbacks in the curl extension?

Ah, I forgot to mention that the GnuTLS implementation is quite academic, i.e. untested.

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

Snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change
will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at
http://snaps.php.net/.
 
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.
