Description:
------------
the first php document submitted to the built-in web server works correctly. But any subsequent document (same as first or any other) causes the browser to hang for two minutes. Then, Firefox (V23)  says something like "Error: time exceeded", and IE 10 says "document cannot be shown". 

(I can't report the exact English wordings here, because I'm using German versions of FF and IE). 

If I stop and restart the PHP Built-in webserver, it works again, but again only for one document. 

The problem occurs only on Windows 8.  It works just fine on Windows 7.

Test script:
---------------
<html>
 <head>
  <title>PHP-Test</title>
 </head>
 <body>
 <?php echo '<p>Hello World</p>'; ?>
 </body>
</html>

Please post your ini. Also, have you tried the same with no extensions loaded? Where did you get your PHP build?

@gn-php-bug that's what i see here on win8 with your snippet

>php -S 127.0.0.1:8080 -t.

$ curl -v http://127.0.0.1:8080/66690.php
* About to connect() to 127.0.0.1 port 8080 (#0)

 <p>Hello World</p> </body>
</html>
* Closing connection 0

So no reproduce for me, any request is served. Have to figure out what the difference is, maybe something of this could help
- try another win8 machine
- try to change the port
- try to change ip
- use curl or anything else you can to see more in background

Maybe you could take a closer look on the diff in the network configuration between your win7 and win8.

Thanks

I looked at what was the difference between the example you gave me and what I used, and here is what I found:

I used to use the URL as shown in the PHP manual at http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.webserver.php 

php -S localhost:8000
http://localhost:8000

This leads to the desctibed malfunction on Windows 8.

But if I use your version:

php -S 127.0.0.1:8000
http://127.0.0.1:8000

It works on my Windows 8 system.

This combination also works: 

php -S 127.0.0.1:8000
http://localhost:8000
 [2014-04-02 10:22 UTC] gn-php-bug at hothaus dot de 
This is the CURL trace in the malfunctioning case: 

I:\save\curl64>curl -v http://localhost:8000/
* Adding handle: conn: 0x2103b90
* Adding handle: send: 0
* Adding handle: recv: 0
* Curl_addHandleToPipeline: length: 1
* - Conn 0 (0x2103b90) send_pipe: 1, recv_pipe: 0
* About to connect() to localhost port 8000 (#0)
*   Trying 127.0.0.1...
* Connection refused
* Failed connect to localhost:8000; No error
* Closing connection 0
curl: (7) Failed connect to localhost:8000; No error

Great, thanks for staying on this. Using 'localhost' literally was always not that reliable on Windows. To be safe, an IP address is a better solution. Win8 seems also to depend on some more configuration than just changing C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts , intranet and DNS settings are involved. However the hosts file could also work when disabling the DNS client service (but not sure it's worth an experiment).

As this is a configuration issue, marking as not a bug.

Thanks

Not a bug? OK. But the documentation should be updated, no? It currently describes an approach that definitly does not work on Windows 8. Thanks anyway.
