CONNECT over proxy to non-existing host fails about curl

[peterlaser]

The original fixed bug http://sourceforge.net/p/curl/bugs/1479/

Can you please help us and describe the issue more? That stack trace isn't helping us a whole lot without more info. The best case would be if you can provide source code and a scenario on how to repeat it!

Hi Daniel,
The reproduce steps is below:
1.Enable proxy in client host
2 Input an invalid server address in our client to connect

Result:
The process will be hanging until an error message is prompted
Thanks!

Something like this?

 curl -p -x localhost:80 non-existing.haxx.se -v

In your case, what does the proxy respond? I could not repeat the problem, I need more details.

Hi Daniel,
Do you have applied the patch for http://sourceforge.net/p/curl/bugs/1479/ in your curl executable file? It should be only repro after the patch checked in.
I have not the curl executable file in hand, Could you please provide the build to me so that I can try it in my host? Thanks.

I use the current git master. You can build your own from git or from a daily snapshot: http://curl.haxx.se/snapshots/ - I don't have any suitable executable to share.

Hi Daniel,
I tried curl 7.42 executable from http://www.paehl.com/open_source/downloads/curl_X64_ssl.7z
The main thread will be hang for a while after Proxy-Connection: Keep-Alive below, please let me know if there is a way to collect the curl executable logs or need additional information, thanks.

  □ Received HTTP code 503 from proxy after CONNECT
  □ Closing connection 0 curl: (56) Received HTTP code 503 from proxy after
    CONNECT

This sounds like perfectly normal behaviour if the proxy is unable to reach the
server. Once the proxy times out trying, it will return the error code that
curl reports.
