Please try using this CVS snapshot:

  http://snaps.php.net/php4-STABLE-latest.tar.gz
 
For Windows:
 
  http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-STABLE-latest.zip

Please try the snapshot that will be generated in about 4 hours (from the time of this post).

I've installed the new snapshot (Nov 29, 2003 17:30 GMT).

The script still times out. The example I wrote before still doesn't work, but there is other with feof that works. Really strange....


Working script:
<?
$fp = fsockopen ("pt.php.net", 80, $errno, $errstr, 30);
if (!$fp) {
    echo "$errstr ($errno)<br>\n";
} else {
    fputs ($fp, "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\n");
    fputs ($fp, "Host: pt.php.net\r\n");
    fputs ($fp, "Connection: Close\r\n\r\n");
    while (!feof($fp)) {
        echo fgets ($fp,128);
    }
    fclose ($fp);
}
?>

Can you clarify what is happening now (with the updated snapshot)? Provide a short script and explain what happens and why you think it is wrong.
Thanks!

I've compiled a couple of tests and its results on my pc, using the snapshot of Nov 30, 2003 09:30 GMT.

The tests andits results are at: http://testes.aborla.net/php-bugreport.tar.bz2

Please, just a single script, and please explain what happens and why it is wrong.

The first example I wrote (in reproduce code) is a good example.
I echo fgets 3 times and it times out in the third fgets. Instead of timing ou, it should return FALSE.

I don't have intimate knowledge of the cvs pserver protocol... why should it return false instead of timeout?

In the manual it says:
"If an error occurs, returns FALSE." (http://php.net/fgets)

The cvs server should only returns two lines. So, if I call fgets a third time, it times out and I think it should return FALSE.
And feof doesn't work either, so I never know if the server's reponse has ended or not...

does it return two lines and close the connection, or return two lines and wait for you to send more data?

The connection stays open and waiting.

In that case, this is the expected behaviour; the connection has not closed, so feof() returns false.
fgets will time out because it will wait a maximum of 60 seconds (by default; the default_socket_timeout ini setting configures this).  It does not return false because it has not hit an error; it merely does not have any data before your timeout period expires (this is a feature).

It is your responsibility to implement the network protocol correctly (PHP cannot read your mind, not that of the CVS server); if you expect only two lines, then you should read only two lines.
