Hello PECL team, I have a potential bug report and a related question on the SSH2 extension (version 0.13, PHP 5.4).
The environment in which I'm using the SSH2 extension is such that connection to the target machine can be dropped at any time. I send multiple automated requests that log in to the server using the SSH2 extension (once every few seconds - that's by design) and so I expect to be able to set a reasonable timeout for such requests. Since a) the SSH access routine is automated (i.e., performed by PHP running on the web server) and b) the connection can be dropped at any time, I'm testing connection drops between any two successive function calls in my routine. So this bug report is about the following situation: - ssh2_connect() succeeds and returns a resource, - connection drops (the server goes into a reboot for example), - then ssh2_auth_password() is called and hangs until the server becomes available again, with a waiting period in the order of one minute (which is how fast the server comes back online). If I drop the connection between ssh2_auth_password() and ssh2_sftp(), then ssh2_sftp() returns false in a few seconds. The other PHP file functions - to be precise, opendir(), readdir(), stat() - return false immediately if called on an sftp descriptor that points to a dropped connection. Thus, ssh2_auth_password() is the odd one in this list. Furthermore, I can't seem to control the timeout for ssh2_auth_password() using the 'default_socket_timeout' PHP parameter. is it possible to control that timeout at all at runtime? if yes, how exactly? PHP version: 5.4.16-45.el17 PECL SSH2 version: 0.13, built from source using the EPEL source rpm php-pecl-ssh2-0.12-1.el7 (since in EPEL only 0.12 is available, I've taken that source rpm and rebuilt using the new tarball). libssh2 version: 1.4.3-10.e7-2.1 OS: CentOS 7.0.1406 (Core) -- -- Best regards, Ignat Semenov -- PECL development discussion Mailing List (http://pecl.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
