#9380 closed defect (bug) (fixed)

xmlrpc.php may give timeout error

Reported by: foks Owned by: josephscott
Priority: normal Milestone: 2.7.2
Component: XML-RPC Version: 2.7.1
Severity: minor Keywords: has-patch
Cc: joseph@…

Description

xmlrpc.php?rsd will give a timeout error if CURL is enabled on the server and the server doesn't listen on port 443.

The function url_is_accessable_via_ssl in includes/functions.php check if SSL is supported by trying to connect to the server on port 443. Timeout limit is not specificed so if the server doesn't answer (and doesn't deny the request) you get a php timeout.

I have solved this on my own installation by adding this row in the function:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 5);

(In [10830]) Set a short timeout for the SSL discovery support so that we don't block requests until the attempt timesout. Fixes #9380 for trunk
