php cURL Operation timed out after 120308 milliseconds with X out of -1 bytes received
Solution 1
I noticed you're trying to parse Craigslist; could it be an anti-flood protection of theirs? Does the problem still exist if you try to parse other website? I once had the same issue trying to recursively map an FTP.
Regarding the timeouts, if you are sure that is isn't neither a connection timeout nor a data wait timeout (CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT / CURLOPT_TIMEOUT) I'd try increasing the limit of the PHP script itself:
set_time_limit(0);
Solution 2
Try increasing default_socket_timeout
in your PHP config file php.ini
(e.g. ~/php.ini
), e.g.
default_socket_timeout = 300
or set it via curl in PHP code as:
curl_setopt($res, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 300);
where $res
is your existing resource variable.

I'm experiencing this error (see Title) occasionally in my scraping script.
X is the integer number of bytes > 0, the real number of bytes the webserver sent in response. I debugged this issue with Charles proxy and here is what I see
As you can see there is no Content-Length: header in response, and the proxy still waits for the data (and so the cURL waited for 2 minutes and gave up)
The cURL error code is 28.
Below is some debug info from verbose curl output with var_export'ed curl_getinfo() of that request:
* About to connect() to proxy 127.0.0.1 port 8888 (#584) * Trying 127.0.0.1... * Adding handle: conn: 0x2f14d58 * Adding handle: send: 0 * Adding handle: recv: 0 * Curl_addHandleToPipeline: length: 1 * - Conn 584 (0x2f14d58) send_pipe: 1, recv_pipe: 0 * Connected to 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) port 8888 (#584) > GET http://bakersfield.craigslist.org/sof/3834062623.html HTTP/1.0 User-Agent: Firefox (WindowsXP) Ц Mozilla/5.1 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB ; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070725 Firefox/2.0.0.6 Host: bakersfield.craigslist.org Accept: */* Referer: http://bakersfield.craigslist.org/sof/3834062623.html Proxy-Connection: Keep-Alive < HTTP/1.1 200 OK < Cache-Control: max-age=300, public < Last-Modified: Thu, 11 Jul 2013 21:50:17 GMT < Date: Thu, 11 Jul 2013 21:50:17 GMT < Vary: Accept-Encoding < Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 < X-MCP-Cache-Control: max-age=2592000, public < X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN * Server Apache is not blacklisted < Server: Apache < Expires: Thu, 11 Jul 2013 21:55:17 GMT * HTTP/1.1 proxy connection set close! < Proxy-Connection: Close < * Operation timed out after 120308 milliseconds with 4636 out of -1 bytes receiv ed * Closing connection 584 Curl error: 28 Operation timed out after 120308 milliseconds with 4636 out of -1 bytes received http://bakersfield.craigslist.org/sof/3834062623.htmlarray ( 'url' => 'http://bakersfield.craigslist.org/sof/3834062623.html', 'content_type' => 'text/html; charset=iso-8859-1', 'http_code' => 200, 'header_size' => 362, 'request_size' => 337, 'filetime' => -1, 'ssl_verify_result' => 0, 'redirect_count' => 0, 'total_time' => 120.308, 'namelookup_time' => 0, 'connect_time' => 0, 'pretransfer_time' => 0, 'size_upload' => 0, 'size_download' => 4636, 'speed_download' => 38, 'speed_upload' => 0, 'download_content_length' => -1, 'upload_content_length' => 0, 'starttransfer_time' => 2.293, 'redirect_time' => 0, 'certinfo' => array ( ), 'primary_ip' => '127.0.0.1', 'primary_port' => 8888, 'local_ip' => '127.0.0.1', 'local_port' => 63024, 'redirect_url' => '', )
Can I do something like adding a curl option to avoid these timeouts. And this is not a connection timeout, nor data wait timeout - both of these settings do not work as curl actually connects successfully and receives some data, so the timeout in error is always ~= 120000 ms.
