Empty reply from server




Posted by phntje, 05-30-2008, 02:09 AM
I'm having some problems with my script, i think its not really a script error... - Script connects to rapidshare to send a file to the user - Rapidshare allows unlimited parallel connections, so no problem - Though some of the time (not alot), i get a connection error. - Connection error is: Empty reply from server - Strange thing is, i get this when i do a curl connection to rapidshare - ping, telnet, fsockopen, all is working, but it seems that i don't get a reply from the server Well, is this a problem on my side or on the rapidshare servers? Also, is there a problem to fix this? Server is using: - curl 7.15.5 - php 5.21 - apache 2.2.3 there's no firewall setup on my site..., also i can't find anything in iptables,...

I mean, "is there something to fix this"

Just guessing. It maybe the case that Rapidshare is the one throttling you or blocking you because of the parallel connections,.

Well yea, but they offer "unlimited" parallel downloads

no, they don't block it, because it works properly, but only after ?? time or connections or whatever what, they deny connection...

Are you sending a user-agent string with curl?
