Re: RIF: Request timeouts

Hi,

Thanks Gaetano. I tried setting the timeout of the send method or 
'default_socket_timeout' on the client, both to no effect. This is on 
Mac OS X with PHPXMLRPC 1.2.1, PHP 4.4.1 and plain HTTP. My server is 
running 1.2.1 also but with PHP 5.1.1 on NetBSD.

Anyway, it's a moot point now as I doubled the performance of my script 
so that it runs in under a minute. That was by using APD:

  http://pecl.php.net/package/apd

It's highly recommended.


Regards,

Jeff
