Issue
I'm having an issue with a large curl call.
I get
and the content is partial delivered
GET /stats/?stats_breakdown=track__track&campaign=&search_criteria=2&period=0&date_month=11&date_day=03&date_year=2015&start_date_month=11&start_date_day=03&start_date_year=2015&end_date_month=12&end_date_day=31&end_date_year=2014 HTTP/1.1

This is the php configuration I use
function getHeaders()
{
$headers = array();
$headers[] = 'Cache-Control: no-cache';
$headers[] = 'Connection: Keep-Alive';
$headers[] = 'Keep-Alive: 600';
$headers[] = 'Accept-Language: en-us';
$headers[] = 'X-CSRFToken: SeN9bHryRK8FWLTLJIs5c6u9AZ47a8pR';

$headers[] = 'Origin: https://domain.com';
$headers[] = 'Referer: https://domain.com';
return $headers;
}
curl_setopt($connection, CURLOPT_URL, $url);

curl_setopt($connection, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 5500000000); //timeout in seconds
curl_setopt($connection, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, getHeaders());
curl_setopt($connection, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);
Solution
Okay, after some searching and IRC chat's I found solution, but not 100% sure what the cause is. Looks like the keep-alives weren't send enough to keep the connection going on. Will post the solution here, hopefully I can help someone out.
What helped for me is adding
--keepalive-time 2
An explanation of the curl option
--keepalive-time <seconds>
This option sets the time a connection needs to remain idle before sending keepalive probes and the time between individual keepalive probes. It is currently effective on operating systems offering the TCP_KEEPIDLE and TCP_KEEPINTVL socket options (meaning Linux, recent AIX, HP-UX and more). This option has no effect if --no-keepalive is used. (Added in 7.18.0)
If this option is used several times, the last one will be used. If unspecified, the option defaults to 60 seconds.
Looks like the default was too high to keep my connection open.
Here is the full command I used for my call
curl URL -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, sdch' -H 'Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.8,et;q=0.6,nl;q=0.4' -H 'Upgrade-Insecure-Requests: 1' -H 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_11_0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/45.0.2454.101 Safari/537.36' -H 'Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,*/*;q=0.8' -H 'Connection: keep-alive' --compressed -v --keepalive-time 2
And I'm running this version of curl on osx
curl 7.43.0 (x86_64-apple-darwin15.0) libcurl/7.43.0 SecureTransport zlib/1.2.5
Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher http https imap imaps ldap ldaps pop3 pop3s rtsp smb smbs smtp smtps telnet tftp
Features: AsynchDNS IPv6 Largefile GSS-API Kerberos SPNEGO NTLM NTLM_WB SSL libz UnixSockets
If someone would like to have this option used in PHP curl, the --keepalive-time option is available since PHP 5.5. You can use it as following:
curl_setopt($connection, CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPALIVE, 1);
curl_setopt($connection, CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPIDLE, 2);
Hope this helps someone struggling with the same issue!
