Slow SSL connections about typhoeus HOT 7 CLOSED

Interesting. Can you post a gist to repro it? I know you can extract specific timings from libcurl (for DNS, time-on-wire, etc).

At the very least, does passing :disable_ssl_peer_verification => true to Typhoeus::Request.new make a difference?

I don't even need a gist. It happens the first time I run Typhoeus::Request.get("https://graph.facebook.com"). And I see the same slowness with (on the console): curl -v https://graph.facebook.com.

Tried the :disable_ssl_peer_verification but it had no effect. Neither does passing --insecure to curl.

Perhaps it's machine-specific? Perhaps it's specific to Facebook's servers? I'm not sure. But when I use rest_client (as in RestClient.get "https://graph.facebook.com") I don't experience the same slowness.

Ok, thanks for the info. I'll try to reproduce it on my machine in a bit here, and report back.

http://gist.github.com/415225 --> timing reports + my curl version / compile options

I get times of ~ 0.03 seconds hitting Google SSL and Facebook SSL pages from University of Washington campus.

Can you try a different machine? Different network connection?

I also get similar speeds from Typhoeus FWIW.

Interesting link, but do you have any reason to believe that the options being set are currently hampering libcurl's ability to reuse connections?

I'd like to look into why my machine is getting good speeds vs yours, before going down that road.

I'm closing this ticket unless there's a more reproducible issue that isn't local to your machine.
