Bug #58528 Requests not removed from multi stack when fatal errors occur
Submitted: 2009-01-29 15:28 UTC Modified: 2009-02-12 11:51 UTC

Description:
------------
If a fatal error occurs in a fastcgi application after we 
have initialized a request pool and attached a request to 
it, the request will never be detached from the multi pool. 
This results in subsequent requests failing with the 
exception "Could not attach HttpRequest object(#172) to the 
HttpRequestPool: Invalid easy handle".

One way to fix this would be to update pecl_http to properly 
detach requests from the multi pool when a fatal error is 
thrown. This could be achieved via a RSHUTDOWN handler, I 
believe.



Reproduce code:
---------------
$pool = new HttpRequestPool();
$pool->attach(new HttpRequest("http://localhost"));
throw new FatalError("Break pecl_http");
# NOTE: FatalError class does not exist, so above code throws a Fatal error due to the syntax error



Expected result:
----------------
The application should throw the following exception every 
time: "PHP Fatal error:  
Class 'FatalError' not found"



Actual result:
--------------
The first time the above application is run via fastcgi, the 
correct error is thrown: 
"PHP Fatal error:  Class 'FatalError' not found". However, 
in subsequent requests, a 
different error is thrown: "HttpRequestPoolException : Could 
not attach HttpRequest 
object(#172) to the HttpRequestPool: Invalid easy handle".

Cannot reproduce.  Do you override HttpRequestPool::__destruct()?

Hi Mike,

I don't override __destruct. The above script is enough to reproduce the bug. I am using CentOS 5 / 64-bit. Do you have persistent connections enabled?

To make the issue easier to reproduce, use the following settings:
  1. Setup PHP to have only one thread.
  2. Make sure that persistent connections are enabled.
  3. Access the fatal error script (shown above) via FastCGI 10-100 times. It does not matter what fatal error is thrown as long as a fatal error is thrown.
  4. Before long, the FastCGI script starts throwing "Invalid easy handle" errors when you try to attach the HttpRequest to the HttpRequestPool.

NOTE: If persistent connections are disabled, this problem does not occur. So I suspect the issue here has to do with some cleanup that needs to be done regarding persistent connections.

end of next Sunday (CET) on pecl.php.net.

In case this was a pecl.php.net website problem, the change will show
up on the website in short time.
 
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PECL better.
