I'm requesting some remote files to cache on my own server and performing
a get_headers() first to find out the file type, since I don't always know
what it is. I've discovered some timeout problems with the remote server
sometimes and my own script would end up with a fatal error because the
script took longer to process than 30 seconds. Being able to set a
timeout would allow me to gracefully recover, rather than displaying an
ugly error.
I know I can use stream_set_timeout() on fsockopen() if I want to write my
own get_headers function for < PHP5... but is it possible to set the
timeout on PHP5's built in get_headers()?
