Description: ------------ In Sockets.php, in function read(), there is a call to socket_recv with MSG_WAITALL which causes problem when the DNS server sends back a shorter reply than expected. In the test script below, the server is clearly badly behaving but there is no reason why my PHP script should wait forever ;-) Thanks in advance Test script: --------------- <? require_once('Net/DNS2.php'); $res = new Net_DNS2_Resolver(); $res->setServers(array("2001:d08:111:200::80")) ; $res->timeout = 2 ; // default is 5 $res->recurse = FALSE ; // Do not ask for recursive try { $response = $res->query("klse.com.my", "SOA") ; } catch(Net_DNS2_Exception $e) { print("No answer from DNS") ; } print("Got a reply") ; ?> Expected result: ---------------- Throwing an exception with 'timeout' Actual result: -------------- Waiting forever hence blocking forever my script

Do you have an example of a broken DNS server? It's hard to replicate without that. Mike

See the test script :-)

Hey Eric, Sorry, I should have said, I don't have a way to route to a IPv6 server; does that same server have a IPv4 interface? Mike

The same broken server has an IPv4 address as well (it is ens1.bursamalaysia.com.) but is seems that the IPv4 part works fine, it is only the IPv6 reply which is shorter than expected :-(

ok- well- i'll see if I can re-create it some other way. Mike
