HTTP: failed socket_read

hi
I use for some time a script to send / receive HTTP requests (socket_create, conenct, write, etc ...) to the stage of reading:

$ reception ='';
while ($ buffer = socket_read ($ socket, 2000)) (
$ reception .= $ buff;
)

So far it worked , but when trying the script with facebook ,10minutes before gives me the warning:

<b> Warning </ b>: socket_read () [<a href='function.socket-read'> function.socket-read </ a>]: unable to read from socket [104]:

Connection reset by peer
Basically I feel that my script does not understand that there's nothing to read.
Someone has a any idea?

hi
as i read your problem first thing in my mind is " why not make a url fopen on your remote? Php will handle all "
what say ?

hi
Your question is fine . But it does not seem to me that fopen can send GET / POST, outside what is looking for ..

can use a context...

Found in the comments on [Link] :
<?php
$data = array ( 'foo' => 'bar' , 'bar' => 'baz' );
$data = http_build_query ( $data );

$context_options = array (
'http' => array (
'method' => 'POST' ,
'header' => "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n"
. "Content-Length: " . strlen ( $data ) . "\r\n" ,
'content' => $data
)
);

$context = context_create_stream ( $context_options )
$fp = fopen ( 'https://url' , 'r' , false , $context );
?>

ok

First I scrutinizes each packet received to detect the presence of the </ html> to close the loop myself, without waiting for the server to tell me that it's over.

I needed to access a secure page (https), and failing with sockets that I chose my fsockopen () (this feature had the same concern receiving end, but with the previous hack it works)

I will still try fopen.....
