Description:
------------
Hi,
in PHP 5.1.3 I had follwing problem:

When trying to connect to a host via ssh2_connect and socksify (see dante) I got the error that ssh2_connect is unable to the host. strace shows that the socket returned with "EINPROGRESS (Operation now in progress)" witch is not a "real" error. As I tried to find the problem I recognized that fsockopen has the same problem and that the problem is in some php functions (which are also used by ssh2). BUT PHP Won't fix that (see http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=42467 ). Instead they told me that fsockopen is using "quick'n'dirty socket stuff".

Or with other words: they told me that ssh2 is using the "quick'n'dirty socket stuff".

BTW: socket_create and socket_connect works fine with socksify. This is not a problem of socksify!



in PHP 5.2-200708290830 (from CVS) I just got a "Segmentation fault" but strace shows that the socket still returns with "Operation now in progress"

I will try to give you an gdb backtrace of the "segmentation fault".

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

$ssh_con = ssh2_connect('84.38.64.78');
$fingerprint = ssh2_fingerprint($ssh_con, SSH2_FINGERPRINT_MD5 | SSH2_FINGERPRINT_HEX);

echo $fingerprint

?>

But please use your own SSH server! My firewall may drop your requests ;-)

Expected result:
----------------
successfully connect to the ssh server

Actual result:
--------------
socket returns with "Operation now in progress" and ssh2_connect returns FALSE and an PHP Warning that connect is not possible

Ah, ok, the "Segmentation fault" problem is "solved" after completly reinstall php and ssh2... But the connection problem still exists:

Daniel, this is too much of an edge-case problem. You could try and see if the 
problem is solved by using a newer version of ssh2, libssh2 and dante.

I'm not going to spend my time on this. If you can supply a patch I'm happy to 
help.
