From phpinfo...

libcurl/7.12.1 OpenSSL/0.9.7a zlib/1.2.1.2 libidn/0.5.6

The process...
My browser connects to a curl application running remotely on Apache.
Curl then connects to a remote server, retrieves web pages and does some processing eventually returning a completion code to my browser. In most cases this takes 0.5 to 3 seconds.

I thought my browser connection might be timing out before curl completes its tasks, causing the curl application to terminate. But under the Apache section, phpinfo() shows my Apache timeout as...

Timeouts Connection: 120 - Keep-Alive: 15

Thanks,
Richard
