I use the PHP curl library to establish a connection and retrieve content from the WEB - normal.
I have several SOCKS5 proxies running on localhost on ports from 10300 to 10350, and PHP randomly selects a port.
My code is:
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, "localhost:".mt_rand(10300, 10350));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE, CURLPROXY_SOCKS5);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$curl_resp = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
But if I put this code into the loop for a long time, I get an error that no more files can be opened. I read online because the file limit was reached, so I was debugging with lsof -p, and I noticed that the process has hundreds and even thousands of the following lines:
... TCP localhost:43030->localhost:10303 (CLOSE_WAIT)
... TCP localhost:40982->localhost:10341 (CLOSE_WAIT)
... TCP localhost:48718->localhost:10304 (CLOSE_WAIT)
... TCP localhost:41655->localhost:10350 (CLOSE_WAIT)
... TCP localhost:41915->localhost:10310 (CLOSE_WAIT)
... TCP localhost:49746->localhost:10322 (ESTABLISHED)
I studied why this is so, but I do not understand, because I call curl_close, and I would suggest that CURL will also close the PROXY connection, or am I missing something?
