Error when sending large messages over secure HTTPS with older PHP versions about http-client HOT 9 CLOSED

ping @clue, could this possibly be in the SSL part of react/socket-client?

from http-client.

This also happens at the socket-client level, this is an example (without actually parsing the response to exit cleanly):

<?php

require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

$url = "https://example.com";

$mp = new p3k\Multipart;
$mp->addPart('field', ''value');
$mp->addFile('photo', 'small-98kb.jpeg'', 'image/jpeg');

$loop = React\EventLoop\Factory::create();
$dnsFactory = new React\Dns\Resolver\Factory();
$dns = $dnsFactory->createCached('192.168.2.1', $loop);
$tcpConnector = new React\SocketClient\TcpConnector($loop);
$dnsConnector = new React\SocketClient\DnsConnector($tcpConnector, $dns);
$connector = new React\SocketClient\SecureConnector($dnsConnector, $loop, ['verify_peer' => false]);


$loop->nextTick(function() use ($connector, $url, $mp) {

    $urlparts = parse_url($url);

    $connector->create($urlparts['host'], 443)
        ->then(function (React\Stream\Stream $stream) use ($mp, $urlparts) {

            $stream->write(
                "POST {$urlparts['path']} HTTP/1.0\r\n" .
                "Host: {$urlparts['host']}\r\n" .
                "Content-Type: ".$mp->contentType()."\r\n" .
                "Content-Length: ".strlen($mp->data())."\r\n" .
                "Connection: close\r\n" .
                "\r\n" .
                $mp->data()
            );

            $stream->on('data', function($data) {
                print "DATA = \n{$data}\n";
            });

            $stream->on('close', function() {
                print "DONE\n";
            });

            //$stream->end();
        });

});

while (1) $loop->run();

I also tested it with a small file and it worked perfectly.

the connection simply hangs

Thanks for letting us know, but from the details you've posted, the problem appears to be a bit unclear to me. Perhaps you can elaborate: What exactly is hanging here, what is the expected behavior and how does the observed behavior differ?

There are many different possible sources of problems, perhaps this helps pinpointing this. Thanks!

Could we perhaps be running into HTTP's keepalive connection timeouts here?

Ping @pwhelan, and new info on this on?

from http-client.

I fixed it by using by own external micro service in golang to upload files via https. As far as I can tell no one else has followed up with the different issues to finally fix this. From what I can tell it seems to be a problem either in PHP itself or in the way it is handled by react socket client.

From what I can tell it seems to be a problem either in PHP itself or […]

Please provide us with some more details so we can look into this (see above). So far, nobody has managed to run into the issue you're seeing, so I'm not sure there's a problem in any of the mentioned components in the first place.

We still need some more information / confirmation here, but I suppose this may be related to reactphp/stream#64, which indicates this is a general issues with sending large chunks over a TLS connection.

We have managed to reproduce and pin point this to a bug in PHP that has recently been fixed in 7.1.4 and 7.0.18. We're planning to provide a work around for this for affected versions via reactphp/socket#105 👍
