的问题是NSS。我重新编译卷曲与OpenSSL和到目前为止，还没有表现出任何问题。

干杯！

I am having a strange problem with the below php function. Unfortunately this is one of those special "Production only" case.

function requestPost($url, $data)
{
        set_time_limit(60);
        $output = array();
        $curlSession = curl_init();

        if($curlSession == false)
                syslog(LOG_INFO,"Falied to create a curl sessions");

        // Set the URL
        curl_setopt ($curlSession, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
        // No headers, please
        curl_setopt ($curlSession, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
        // It's a POST request
        curl_setopt ($curlSession, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
        // Set the fields for the POST
        curl_setopt ($curlSession, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
        // Return it direct, don't print it out
        curl_setopt($curlSession, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
        // This connection will timeout in 30 seconds
        curl_setopt($curlSession, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT,30);
        //The next two lines must be present for the kit to work with newer version of cURL
        //You should remove them if you have any problems in earlier versions of cURL
        curl_setopt($curlSession, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
        curl_setopt($curlSession, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 1);

        //Send the request and store the result in an array
        syslog(LOG_INFO,"base.php::requestPost() :  BEFORE SENDING CURL ");

        $rawresponse = curl_exec($curlSession);

}

PHP 5.3.6 (cli) (built: Mar 17 2011 21:19:28) 
curl Version          : 7.20.1
NSS Version           : 3.12.9
apr Version           : 1.4.5
Php Version           : 5.3.6

This seems to hang at curl_exec randomly.I am not a php developer so i have no idea where to begin.

I have noticed that when the curl requests are "hung" , on stopping the httpd daemon it attempts to send out these requests, so it might appear they are getting buffered or stuck in the httpd server. Any pointers would be appreciated.

Edit: I managed to get the stack trace out of the web server.

It appears to be stuck in a pthread_condition wait state. Does any one have a clue ? The same request is successful every single time via the command line; so it does point towards the libraries.

Edit:

Following is the call it never comes out from.

Edit: Problem was with NSS, recompiled curl with OpenSSL and a few more hoops for dependencies( libssh2) & it seems to be working fine so far.

Cheers!

The problem was NSS. I recompiled curl with OpenSSL and so far it has not shown any issues.

Cheers!
