incursio

I installed Dion Hulse’s most excellent core control plugin, and disabled cURL as a valid transport, and things are good. But still … lol.

I’m running PHP v5.3.3, so I’m pretty sure I could go in and edit class-http.php and functions.php, and anything else that calls curl_setopt() and add in the CURL_IPRESOLVE_V4 option, but I’d rather not hack core lol.

Okay, I think I’ve found something here. If I use the -4 command line switch to cURL, it works lightning fast. So this means it is trying to resolve it first as an IPv6 address, then falls back. And in looking at my phpinfo() output, it seems that the cURL extension is configured to look for IPv6 as well. Need to figure out how to do that without having to build the cURL extension manually (since I use yum).

Yeah, it’s definitely something local to the environment, or possibly upstream at my provider (it’s a dedicated server in a colo). Making me crazy though lol, as I’ve had to temporarily disable comments due to the flood of spam that Akismet isn’t able to pick up now.

Akismet status shows all servers green, but I get the dreaded “can’t connect to Akismet” message. Which is probably due to a timeout in cURL, I would imagine.

Possibly, but if I ping, dig, or nslookup, it resolves super fast. wget hangs a while, and it uses curl, I believe …

I did notice this … if I try and fetch the feed manually from the command line:

$ wget https://www.ads-software.com/development/feed/

It eventually works, but takes forever. Hangs for quite some time on trying to resolve www.ads-software.com. Still kinda coming back to a DNS issue in my mind. Although if I dig or nslookup www.ads-software.com, it resolves very quickly lol.

Curl is implemented … again haven’t changed anything.

ateam – thx. Great minds think alike – I just spent some more debugging time and came to the same conclusion – was just about to come post the solution here as well – lol.

Donncha – great plugin, mate!

Cheers.

I haven’t tried this yet, but this looks like it might address your image gallery page/attachment manager idea:

Hope this solution helps a bit. This problem drove me nuts, too.

Removing the ampersand is not a solution. This is an encoding bug in 2.01, as has been reported in several other threads.

Cheers.

This is a bug in 2.01 – it has been reported in several other threads here – unfortunately, the WP team has been quiet on the RSS bugs in 2.01 – here’s hoping they address it soon.

Cheers.
