NimbostratusHello, we need the sub-second timeout functionality in the libcurl module for PHP. The Libcurl(PHP) module is not on our F5 (11.4.0).
Does anyone have any experience installing this module?
We are using this script in an External Monitor to check the health of our Pools.
Thanks!
CirrostratusHi,
F5 wouldn't support you adding your own modules, but it should just work if you upload it and call it from your script.
Else it looks like the curl executable already installed might support it if you set CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS as an environmental variable.
Check the version of your CURL and PHP installation. CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS added in cURL 7.16.2. Available since PHP 5.2.3. http://php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt.php
