Hello, you are right... I looked over the code before, but didn't recognize that the fsockopen method in php has a default timeout (what isn't documented in the main php-documentation) of 300 seconds. This bevahior can be overridden by a specified timeoutparameter, if one don't specify it, the method seems to assume the default timeout.
