PHP Bug Type: Reproducible crash
Bug description: Using readfile() to send large files causes PHP to hang
Description:
------------
Attempting to use readfile() to send large (over 250MB) binary objects
causes PHP 5.0.1 to hang or the web server to send a 302 error. Reverting
back to PHP 4.3.8 resolves the issue.
Using fopen() and fpassthru() only makes the issue worse.
We are using IIS 6 and the PHP ISAPI script engine.
Reproduce code:
---------------
header("Content-Type: application/force-download");
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Type: application/download");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename=".basename($filename).";");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
header("Content-Length: ".filesize($filename));
readfile("$filename");
exit();
Expected result:
----------------
PHP 5 has an issue with sending large binary files. This should be
resolved.
