Connection Issues

[Hunter]

Hello!

I've been running into a weird connection issue recently. To keep things simple I have a simple script that just does a GET request on an expense id. If i run the script it will return a status code of 0, but if I refresh again immediately after, it will connect and return a status code of 200 (and send the appropriate data). If i hit refresh again immediately it will work as desired, however if I leave it sit for, say, 10 minutes, and refresh it will return a status code of 0.

Any idea whats going on?

Thanks!

Can you send the script?

Here is a simplified version of my script that still produces the described results. I've been running this script nightly and I get about a 80% error rate with it connecting.

$less_biz_name = '<redacted>';
$less_username = '<redacted>';
$less_password = '<redacted>';
$less_api_key = '<redacted>';

$expense_id = '<redacted>';

$expense_url = "expenses/".$expense_id.".xml";
$url = "https://$less_biz_name.lessaccounting.com/$expense_url?api_key=".$less_api_key;

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $less_username.':'.$less_password);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, '3');
$result = trim(curl_exec($ch));
$http_status = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
curl_close($ch);
var_dump($http_status);
var_dump($result);

Thanks!

Hi Hunter. 

Have you tried increasing CURLOPT_TIMEOUT? Can you try running the same thing with, say, a value of '10' to see if that helps with the error rate?

Thanks Eugen. That seems to have worked!
