curl_multi_select() may be needed by someone, it is a standard PHP function. Removing it will work as long as no user code calls it. The implementation in Zend is simple and could easily be ported to HipHop. The issue is that there is a bug in the Zend implementation which someone at Facebook was hitting. So it was fixed with this rather hackish curl patch. The history of ext_curl.cpp on github doesn't go back far enough to show whether there was ever a version of curl_multi_select() in HipHop which was based on the Zend version. If there was such a version, you could use it. I'm working on a version which will use libcurl as it's meant to be used and also fix the bug, hopefully making everyone happy. -- Tim Starling _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
