Bug Description

Binary package hint: php5

when running the example script, the xml-request is simple cut of at the end, it ends with:

</data></array></value>
<value><array

but server-side is ok, with the curl-wrapper the request succeds.
look answer.txt for the result (yes, it is complete!)

I tried this on the latest version of PHP in Maverick (5.3.3-1ubuntu9), and I see the same truncation issue.

Also I tried doing the POST with the curl_xxx functions and the XML was complete.

Marking Triaged, as there is definitely enough here to get started on a fix.

Setting Importance to High, as this could potentially corrupt data and gives no indication of a problem other than incomplete data transfer.

Changed in php5 (Ubuntu):
status:	New → Triaged
importance:	Undecided → High

This actually happens with a much smaller test script, as soon as you use POST together with "content" in the context options.

<?php
$opts = array('http' => array('method' => 'POST', 'content' => 'foo'));
$context = stream_context_create($opts);
$result = file_get_contents('http://localhost/poster.php', false, $context);
?>

result:
PHP Warning: file_get_contents(http://localhost:4436/ResourceAll): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed!

When you remove the content key, all is fine.
