Scope of default_socket_timeout Directive

=========================================

​

default_socket_timeout do not work for SSL connections. This is long

standing feature request in PHP upstream bugzilla, see PHP bug #41631. 

To sum up,

​

ini_set("default_socket_timeout", $time); 

fopen($https_url, "r");

​

do not work as intended in the contrast to

​

ini_set("default_socket_timeout", $time); 

fopen($http_url, "r");

​

Socket timeout for SSL connections can be set successfully  when 

libcurl trough curl PHP extension is used:

​

$ch = curl_init(); 

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $https_url); 

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, $time); 

curl_exec($ch); 

curl_close($ch);
