connect_timeout doesn't work

[Dejan Angelov]

I need to limit the time spent to connect to some site to 2 sec.

Say that i have this code - http://pastebin.com/mZH46NyJ

It still takes up to 10+ seconds while it throws the exception. I can't see what's wrong?

Dejan,

The code seems correct at a glance. Have you tried turning on the debug flag in the  request options? That should provide you more information on what is going on.

Can you make sure you're using the latest version? I remember there being an issue with an earlier version.

This is the output i'm getting: http://pastebin.com/E3fdyh3M
As you can see, it took 16 seconds, and the options are ['connect_timeout' => 2, 'timeout' => 3, 'debug' => true]

[Dejan Angelov]

Yes, its the latest.

You may want to check the URL that you are using as the one in your pastebin doesn't correlate to any website.

[Dejan Angelov]

That's why i needed the option.. I need to check if the url takes too long to respond (like the url in the pastebin), to ignore it.

I had the same problem.

And cause of the Framework I'm using I couldn't catch the Exception directly. The namespace was wrong.

I just added a backslash before into

catch (\Exception $err)

and it got the right Exception!

Maybe the cause was that the CurlException's parent is RequestException, that has itself \RuntimeException as parent.

So if you want to catch the parent Exception you need to add the backslash as well.

Don't ask me a deep explanation of that. I'm just supposing.

And probably you already solved the error after so many months ;)
