Re: Why is curl slow in reading a </html>less page?

Daniel,
The web site I am having trouble with is internal to the company I work
for, but
I am going to try reproducing with same page content...
I am using linux mandrake's rpm :
curl-7.6.1-1mdk
curl-lib-7.6.1-1mdk
>curl -V
curl 7.6.1 (i586-mandrake-linux-gnu) libcurl 7.6.1 (SSL 0.9.5)
The site is expecting a POST of username and password, but the problem
is there
even if I do not send the data :
I can reproduce this from command line as follows:
$ date ;curl http://host.domain:7001/customerq.htm;date
Sun Mar 25 23:33:48 EST 2001
<HEAD><TITLE>Invalid User</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY><H2>Invalid User</H2>
<p>No details are available
</BODY>
Sun Mar 25 23:34:18 EST 2001
$ curl -i -m 3 -N http://host.domain:7001/customerq.htm
HTTP/1.0 403 Invalid User
Host: f111
Date: Monday, 26 Mar 2001 04:31:22 GMT
Server: WebQ/3.3
MIME-version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 105
Connection: Keep-Alive
Keep-Alive: timeout=30
<HEAD><TITLE>Invalid User</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY><H2>Invalid User</H2>
<p>No details are available
</BODY>
curl: (28) Operation timed out with 105 out of 105 bytes received
From PHP, can I use this no buffer option and timeout, and be able to
get the amout of byets read out of what should have been read...
This could be enough for me.
Thanx for any hints.
