Description:
------------
Compiled current production PHP 5.2.9 (and with CVS version php5.2-200903181530) with Curl 7.19.4 (x86_64) using code below fails:

Compiled PHP 5.2.6 against Curl 7.19.4 works as expected.

Compiled php5.2-200903181530 compiled against RHEL curl 7.15.5 (x86_64) works as expected.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

$ch = curl_init();
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://www.google.com/');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://newton.ces.ncsu.edu/');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

if (curl_exec($ch) === false) {
        echo 'Curl error: ' . curl_error($ch) . "\n";
}
curl_close($ch);
?>




Expected result:
----------------
$ php t.php
* About to connect() to newton.ces.ncsu.edu port 80
*   Trying 152.1.215.211... * connected
* Connected to newton.ces.ncsu.edu (152.1.215.211) port 80

Actual result:

Curl error: <url> malformed


if you exchange newton.ces.ncsu.edu with www.google.com you get:

php t.php

* Couldn't resolve host ?'

in bug #47616  the problem turned out to be incorrect passing of the parameters.  This bug may be related.

If it works with older Curl version but not the new one, how is this 
PHP bug?
 [2009-04-01 11:58 UTC] ray_kimsey at ncsu dot edu
Well PHP 5.2.6 works with older and newer versions of Curl. (see orignal description of problem). 

There appears to be something that was implemented in newer versions of PHP (later than 5.2.6) that is causing a problem.  My guess would be something new (such as COPYPOSTFIELDS) implemented in recent versions of Curl that newer versions of PHP are trying to use.

Summary:

5.2.6 + 7.19.4, x64, works.
snaps 5.2-20090318153 + 7.19.4 x64, fails.
snaps 5.2-20090318153 + 7.15.5 x64, works.

Do I get it right?

Yes, that is correct.

It works here. Maybe some invalid redirect from one of your box? Did you try this script from the same machine or network?

5.3.0-cvs, 5.2.9-1 and 5.2-cvs with curl 7.19.4:

I tested on two separate servers with the same results. Both machines were are on the same network.  Thank you for your assistance.
 [2009-05-03 15:52 UTC] pajoye@php.net
Cannot reproduce, in php or in c using cURL directly. Sounds like a network issue not a php one > bogus.
