From: Operating system: win and linux PHP version: 5.2.13 Package: HTTP related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:file_get_contents for url hangs
Description: ------------ file_get_contents("http://english.aljazeera.net/") hangs until timeout. I did a debug and found that file_get_contents doesn't check the "content-length" header. If you do this way: file_get_contents("http://english.aljazeera.net/", NULL, NULL, 0, 1); then get "content-length" from the response header, then file_get_contents("http://english.aljazeera.net/", NULL, NULL, 0, the-value-from-content-length); then it works. Apparently we should close the socket when we read content-length bytes from the socket and return.
