curl problems

[Matthias Leopold]

hi

i've got problems getting php4 scripts which use curl to work on RHEL4
(Nahant Update 4) and CentOS 4.4. when the script is accessed the
browser "hangs", after a couple of minutes i'm prompted to save the
php-file, obviously nothing is executed.

what i've checked:
..) curl in php works with a selfcompiled php5 binary executed via cgi on
the same server
..) curl script (actually the example from
http://www.php.net/manual/de/ref.curl.php) works on other servers (not
rhel/centos)
..) selinux is disabled
..) disabling iptables rules makes no difference
..) apache errorlog doesn't give any hint, regardless of apache and php
log levels
..) php rpms are up2date
..) php core config see below

thanks for help

It is hard to tell as curl does not seem any debug output when it
executes a connection request.

You may want to try this HTTP client class that provides plenty of debug
output so you can see what is going on during the connection.

Dear Matthias,
when the browser prompts for saving, it's because the server says so
in the header information. It sounds more likely to be a server issue
than to be a problem of curl. Did you try to reduce the code, to e.g.
let curl just fetch the google homepage and display it? That way you
could see if it is really curl which creates the problems.

Good luck
Martin

thanks for answers, the problem was the open_basedir restriction
