Expect: php curl should play nice
Once again, my job has me writing mutli-threaded PHP1 scripts that use PHP’s CURL2 library to connect to remote servers. (I’m calling an API here!) Without going into too much detail, the networking specifics changed between me and the api server, adding a new, or newly reconfigured, invisible proxy to the data path.
This proxy is running Lighttpd, while light in name, is starting to throw around it’s weight and get in my way.
Warning! We are going to get technical!
