GuzzleHttp RequestException - cURL error 56: OpenSSL SSL_read: SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL, errno 10054

[jtheodas]

I'm getting this error when I make a request to a particular website (https://www.retailchoice.com).
I'm using Guzzle from the Symfony framework.
So when I execute this code:
$this->crawler = $this->client->request('GET', "https://www.retailchoice.com/");

I get this error:

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'GuzzleHttp\Exception\RequestException' with message 'cURL error 56: OpenSSL SSL_read: SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL, errno 10054 (see http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-errors.html)' in D:\Data\xampp5.6.34\xampp\ehjdata\vendor\guzzlehttp\guzzle\src\Handler\CurlFactory.php:186

I turned on debug & caught the RequestException & here is the print out:

I don't have issues when I try other websites. Just this one. What should I do to solve this? Thank you.

[hondnl]

Would it have anything to do with the HTTP buffer size ?

https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/CURLOPT_BUFFERSIZE.html

Did you try to play with it ?

new Client([
'curl.options' =>[ 'CURLOPT_BUFFERSIZE' =>'somethingL']
]);

[inferiore]

was it solved? It's happening me in some cases

[steefaan]

I would be also interested in an answer.

[jtheodas]

I have no idea if it has been solved. This is how I worked around this issue.

$this->crawler = $this->myRequest($feed_url);

private function myRequest($feed_url) {
        $html = file_get_contents($feed_url); //get the html returned from the following url
        $domdoc = new DOMDocument(); 
        //$basehref = null;   
        libxml_use_internal_errors(TRUE); //disable libxml errors
        if(!empty($html)) { //if any html is actually returned    
            $domdoc->loadHTML($html);
            libxml_clear_errors(); //remove errors for yucky html
            if (strrpos($feed_url, "?")>0) {
                $arr = explode("?", $feed_url, 2);
                $basehref = $arr[0];
            } else {
                $basehref = $feed_url;
            }
            return new Crawler($domdoc->cloneNode(true), $feed_url, $basehref);
        } else {
            return null;
        }
    }

It seems that this site is using anti-scraping protection. You could try to change user-agent header.

[gmponos]

Please read this:

http://docs.guzzlephp.org/en/stable/request-options.html#verify

Also try (for testing purposes) to set verify to false and check if this works. Not sure how to do that from symfony. Let me know the result.

        }
    }

it works for me.

Thank you.
